What are virgin thinking of?? .Rebranding the dreadful Q400 with all its negative reputaion in virgin colours , Next time one fails , either a engine lets go or the main gear collapses as it it will inevitably happen it’s no longer another flybe failure but a virgin one .
What happens is; a new management come in, they look at the headline figures for the Dash, and think "Oh wow this is a great economical aircraft".
What they don't see are all the less apparent costs of maintenance and engineering required to keep it in the air, the EU261 costs when even that doesn't work, the costs in crew and transport required to cover the schedule when it has broke again, the lost revenue from passengers who would rather fly on a jet, and the costs in training due to the constant throughput of pilots because nobody sees the Dash as a long term career. A couple of years down the line by the time all this has dawned on them, the company is not performing as well as they had hoped and they are given big bonuses and shown the door.
