flybe

Dunces corner again for me re the undercarriage - sorry

It was my friend who first mentioned this as he was sitting in the
window seat and it looked far more noticeable than any other
airliner we have been on (30 plus types).

I sat by the window on the 735 on the way home and it was fine
and certainly not as noticeable as the DASH 8.

As for flybe/baby, it certainly was good to fly both on the
same day and as I say aircraft wise there was little to choose
and don't ask me why but I always feel safer on a turboprop!

The girls worked hard on the flybe but I suppose the tech delay
on a new aircraft probably just highlighted the differences on the day.

Personally can't wait to fly on the Dash 8 again just wish
they could get over these tech problems.

I was on the 08.45 and it was 85-90% business and
although some were annoyed, the aircraft seemed to be
well received and non of the usual "did this fly in war"
comments - people seemed more concerned at missing
meetings etc.
