Okay, so let's look for some potential positives to cheer ourselves in amongst all our current doom and gloom. That said this post needs to start with a couple of negatives. It is going to be a long long time before international travel and connectivity return to pre Covid levels with all airlines in quite a weak position. However this is where the potential positives and opportunity exist for BA at LBA. BA will be an airline that survive all this. There will be slots available at LHR, certainly in the short term. And because of reduced regional connectivity from other airports, despite reduced overall demand, this is an opportunity for BA to grab market share. So an LBA night stopper, with minimum 2, maybe 3, flights a day at peak times gets them feeding their remaining worldwide network and increases point to point. Okay, that is all probably wishful thinking, but you just never know in what are clearly changing times for everyone and everything............
Problem is that the A319 may well be to big for that. Would probably need a smaller aircraft like the E190.And hence perhaps the need to go 3 daily with a night stopper.............
I thought that they couldn't use Cityflyer aircraft at LHR due to an agreement with the unions?Well there maybe some spare at BACF. Depends how LCY routes bounce back
Just received the attached from BA:
"You’re booked to travel with us in June from Leeds Bradford to London Heathrow. However, due to the ongoing situation with coronavirus, we will be continuing with our temporary suspension of flights on this route and as a result your flight has been cancelled"
You'd be more likely to catch covid-19 in a Tesco scrum for the BBQ coals yesterday.Yesterday....this is a BA flight after just arriving from AMS...the reason I wont be flying for a few months.

Funnily enough, most of the supermarkets near us have stopped controlling the flow into their stores. The two nearest stores to us have had no queues outside for over a week and near zero social distancing going on inside. If you imagine, at least on a flight the passengers are sat in the same location for the most part. In a supermarket everyone is moving around mixing and leaning over other people to reach items off the shelves. I think I'd rather be on the flight to be honest.
Other local ones are the same and even though Wales is still in lockdown they are still busy and it's extremely hard to avoid people. Especially at the smaller more local one. I don't know about anyone else but I don't tend to wear gloves or masks at the supermarket and not even at work where on a plane I'd expect PPE will be mandatory.Jerry and Aviador I would change supermarkets if I were you.
