The Sin Bin • taking less flights
With air travel said to be the highest contributor to greenhouse gasses, should we all be taking fewer flights each year.
In direct conflict of any "green policy" the government is "stepping in" to save Flybe and to avoid conflict with competition rules etc, it would appear that all airlines will benefit, making air travel cheaper for all of us.
While the employees and customers of Flybe will be delighted that there is a stay of execution, are they (Flybe) so critical to connectivity in the UK and are they so much more important than the steel industry which is facing job losses and probably even more challenging trading conditions.
A cynic could be forgiven for thinking that the government is helping it's friends (again) and (still) doesn't give a toss about job losses "up north".
