Yes that's what we like! I don't agree with all of it but take note people that's what negativity should look like.
Regarding the 'Eastern introducting Embraers' rumour from earlier in the thread:- Flybes booking engine does not specify aircraft types but it does display a warning about limited baggage space on Jetstream 41 aircraft...that warning disappears after March 25th which is the start of the summer timetables; there is also one less rotation per day which would make sense if a larger aircraft is being introduced. Don't forget also Eastern added a 4th E145 to their fleet recently as well. No sign of the rumoured Dublin rotation in between flights but there is plenty of space for it (plus if this was just a response to competition from Loganair you'd expect they would have abandoned the change upon learning of their exit from the route). Journey time remains 1hr same as with the Jetstream, obviously you would expect a decrease with jet equipment but this is the only inconsistency.
All speculation of course, so make of it what you will.
