The curtain on the stage has *finally* been lifted and the show has (almost) begun. No, not some kind of funny "virtual airline", but a real proper airline that both sells tickets and also flies the passengers. I didn't think it would really get to this stage, but we should now give Flybe and its employees a chance. We all have our doubts... the CEO will also have his (privately held) doubts as well... but that's the same whenever a theatre puts on a new performance. It is now a case of waiting to see how many punters want to buy tickets for the show
First flight is in 3 weeks time. Anecdotal data on how the commercial side is going will be available from mid May. We will know by summer from the CAA's statistics for May how the airline is really doing
