I don't know what the current state of play is regarding crewing but...
Yesterday's (11 Jun) first 0705 IOM/MAN rotation cancelled "due to technical problems". EMB145 supposed to operate towed away to remote parking. Second 1000 rotation delayed (usually operated by the same aircraft). Problem eventually solved by the arrival at 1245 of a FlyBe 146.
I've driven past the airport several times and no engineering prescence sighted (I might have missed it, of course), yet the EMB145 was put back into service some time today.
So is the technical problem not a technical problem, or really a crewing problem?
Yesterdays 146 IOM/LGW service suffered knock on delays as well. Full load on the mid morning meant the you have to pay for it catering had to be taken off!
Today's 0845 LGW/IOM was cancelled per the LGW departures board and the 1035 IOM/LGW serice delayed. Yet the FlyBe online flight information showed the departure from IoM as being on time...
I'm travelling tomorrow. Let's hope nothing goes wrong again...
