145

JobsaGoodun

I have since been posted a useful link and it is very clear that they will be
keeping the 145 after 27/3/07 and some flybe cabin crew might even
be trained on them.

As a BHX local and BA/BE/WW traveller I was pleasantly surprised at the
takeover but on the other hand I could not understand that any profitable
company would want to take on such an aircraft with a low cost operation
when the previous owner has claimed that the business continued to lose money.

Also on this link it stated that the ex BACON routes will be offered at
flybe prices. As an outsider looking in it seemed strange but I am sure
that the whole story has yet to be told. Although I am more than happy to accept that flybe know exactly what they are doing and all will become clearer in a few months.

Also with the BHX operation there is some route duplication and hopefully
there won't be too much of a need to keep many 145's.
