this one actually must win the award for the slackest turnaround scheduling
BD125 1700LHR 1820DUB
The aircraft then sits on the ground for 3 1/4 hours before returning as
BD126 2135DUB 2255LHR
Nobody is going to want fly on BD126 on a Friday with that timetable - far too late and useless for connections (and the flight before it is 8hrs earlier!) .. so they're going to end up with a very expensive aircraft sitting around Dublin for over 3 hours on a Friday evening (when it should be full of high yielding business travellers who will now all be on Aer Lingus) and then flying back pretty empty to LHR
If there was a self destruct button around it seems that the scheduling department are pressing it pretty hard ... I know there's slot constraints etc. but still !
