Anyone have thoughts on that?
Your Highness:
I think King Kirby wishes to keep as many serfs as he can serving his various Noblemen: Count Ornstein and Count Hoefling. However these Vassels are running out of Serfs to help them work the said Lords fields.
I think to some remote markets, the fee for departure carriers can't keep up with the frequncies of the last decade.
I mean I'm flying many routes on da Bus that I used to fly on the 145 10+ years ago, but there are places now that used to have 5 flights a day on a 50 seat jet back then, now its 2 flights a day one on an A319 and one on E 170. Capacity almost the same.
Of course the economics were different, labour for the FFD carriers has gone up about 248% since then.....
If Labor at the FFD carriers goes the opposite direction....I dont think.......I know Wacker Drive will try to get as much flying done by regionals as scope will allow.
