flybe summer 2007

I would imagine a full release is nigh on impossible until the tie-up is confirmed as a done deal. I suppose they might be able to do a
further part-release but as for the likes of BHX there would be little point as there are many duplicated routes (EDI, GLA, ABZ & HAJ).

I cannot think for one moment they will operate the 145 on any route
from April 2007, which gives them one almighty scheduling headache.

On the rumour and news thread there was a quote from a 145 crew
stating that he or she will hang around for the next 12 months
flying the 145 and then see what is offered.

Surely if flybe kept 20 odd 145's for the next 12 months on their
low fares model there will be no flybe either?

Has anybody got any info yet on what is being kept (fleet wise) in
the short term?

If flybe have any sense they will not operate one 145 after 27/3/07
or whatever the date of changeover is - all assuming this goes ahead!
