Changed Days

It doesn't seem like 50 years ago but for three summers I worked in the upstairs Highland Bar bar during my university holidays - the old licencing hours back then of 1100-1430 and 1700-2200 Mon-Sat with alcohol only available in the adjoining restaurant on a Sunday
I certainly remember it being busy over Fri, Sat & Sun as holiday flights were concentrated on a weekend (unlike today's all hours, seven days a week)
Roll forward to Saturday July 1st 2023 and Glasgow has only 7 departures after 1600 (1/3 of the day) and only 3 departures after 1800 (1/4 of the day) with 2 to Belfast and 1 to Dublin . . . not exactly private equity owners 'sweating their assets'
I know comparisons can draw ire but even Newcastle can muster 12 departures after 1600
