Hi embraernotworthy,
I realised soon after posting that there were 4 Dash8-Q400s, operating our flights to EDI, GCI/JER, CDG and MAN first thing in the morning. Last time I noted it was 3 dash's, 1 B737 and a Bae 146-300 but that has all changed now
The de-icing will be completed based on departure time, your correct. However, for example currently on Tuesdays there are 3 flights departing at 0700. I think what WATABENCH is trying to say is that BE would be given priority (or at least we expect they would) as they are loyal to the airport and are the largest operator.
its nice to hear from you though - I havn't been here long and to be honest, this is the only forum (Airlines, Airports and Routes) which I will be posting on.......(much nicer people on this thread too!) Any info you have (in addition to what has already been said) with regards to Summer 2007 will be very much appreciated!
