But if you are saying people would rather pay £200 more to fly BA on this route than take the VS/EI flight then you should see a doctor.
As I've said, it's us as consumers - whether you "like" VS or not (I've never flown them so have no opinion) - that will lose. Presumably without competition, that £275 fare I was offered would be £375 - if indeed there was a seat left...
Seeing is believing. Airline flights are driven by supply and demand and there is a reason why Little Red are much cheaper. Maybe you need a doctor to work that out but I personally don't.
Maybe if consumers had supported Little Red a bit more when they were running then they wouldn't have been forced to close down? There is only so long you can fly fresh air between London and Scotland.
