Following on from this thread about the dropping of the DFW-AMS route this winter has anyone else been messed around this winter?
I've just noticed that one of my regular (2-3x pm) AMS-LHR short hauls has been dropped out (or downgraded) from this week. The regular, normally full, 1905 service (737) has been dropped and in its place an 1830 F70 has been slipped in. Personally I can't stand the F70 City Hopper service due to (a) the permanent bussing in and out at AMS to the aircraft (b) the lack of cabin seating space (c) occasionally surly non-Dutch FAs (d) the lack of overhead storage (e) rabid insistence of only 1x small cabin bag (if you're lucky).
I'm sure there's a reason for this but the downgrading of an always full commuter flight seems very strange to me (and personally messes up a perfect schedule for me from the office). Too late to get rebooked and for my diary to be rescheduled this week so looks like I will have to suffer now this week and ill have to rebook my flights for the next 3 weeks quickly...
Anyone else caught out without warning?
