I know that Flybe will be basing a third q400 aircraft on the IOM imminently -
initially as an operational spare to improve the robustness of the local operation.
All the new IOM effos and the remainder of the IOM based 146/145Capts start their q400 courses at Farnborough next week.
The latest pax figs for the airport make interesting reading - although they're doing quite a bit better on the MAN route ( no doubt capitalising on the problems Flybe had during the BAConnect transition) , the Euros seem to have taken a bit of a hit on the LPL route.
