BMR E145 G-RJXG has been doing the BEE79_ runs between Birmingham and Glasgow this afternoon & evening.
Not doing terribly well at it either, didn't take long to rack-up 70 minutes of delays.

That's your guess. Also garbage it seems! Flybe emailed this evening and contradict what you say. VLM are not operating the flights. The VLM van must be here for different reasons. At least I tempered my remarks by emphasising that they were guesswork but your guess is presented as fact although unsupported with any evidence.

I guess that owlery is discussing a different Flybe, operating in some sort of parallel universe.
This may be a rumour network, but rumours with some basis in fact are often preferable to trying to produce best selling works of fiction, or, worse, peddling one's own agenda, whatever that may be.

Owlery - talk about making bricks with straw! 
How many years in a row is this that Flybe have leased in mid-summer? UK network seems to be still intact 
Best laugh since Onxycrowle got banned...

I'm not sure Owlery quite understands the aviation industry, but nevermind probably best we move on as I'm sure we don't want to flybe thread to be closed again.

OK, I was fooled by believing the email stating that VLM are not going to be operating Flybe flights from Manchester (the way it was worded was that VLM were not going to be involved at all, but maybe it was supposed to be only relevant to specific flights). I can see that people on here know better than Flybe's customer services.
I was merely motivated by alarm at the chaos of Flybe's schedule, the lack of explanation given and the apparent acceptance of this as normal, whilst I flew with Flybe twice a week through the winter and only had two serious delays.
You can put my guesswork right without being quite so conceited and contemptuous though, folks!

I THINK EVERYONE IS UNDER THE SAME OPINION EXCEPT YOURSELF.
What you stated is quite unbelievable and ridiculous to say the least but at least we can move on now seeing that everyone has put you right!

I am a little concerned about the -PRP aircraft. The overhead lockers up front are too small for hand baggage carried and the crew told me on a recent flight they cannot sell duty free as there is insufficient space for the duty free carts. Whereas on the current fleet there is storage in both front and rear galleys this is not the case on the Republic.
As the aircraft fleet are mix and match between domestic and international not selling duty free may be a problem?

Hmm. Well I'll be attempting another Flybe flight tomorrow to Manchester so let's hope you're right and the schedule has just suffered a little normal wobble here and there, and it's not at all chaotic.

Do we know whether the E195's will see a return for the 2016 summer season?

you are wrong about the take off weights
G-JEDP one of the older Q400s is declared as 28998kg
G-PRPL ex Republic is declared as 29257kg. You will almost never see the aircraft operating at max tow anyway
If Flybe can get rid of them the 195s won't be back next year

Seeing as the CWL operation appears to have been predicated upon finding a use for a couple of the 195's, does that simply mean it will become a Q400 operation if the 195's can be disposed of?
