In Premium there was one couple in front of me. Very efficient checkin, even with the bag weighing. While the bus was a pain mitigated by great views (and the lack of PRE), it was way nicer than even EI biz checkin at TBIT.

I saw that release too on need for cash. Sounds like their winter cold to warm strategy is not working .... all the LGW-LAX schedule slashing another warning. I assume the supplier is fuel, so the end could come suddenly.

Feels like they had too many planes still and should have started out more slowly on a dense set of routes! Maybe waited for the UK AOC before doing anything.

All that being said I would still fly them - but as always with a plan B (cheap FF miles ticket on someone else).
