flybe at BHX

When you say the services are more robust do you mean in respect of
punctuality or passenger numbers or both?
There is very little in the CAA September figures to suggest an much of an upturn although it is difficult to tell on some routes which are shared. However if it is the reliability then I agree it has stabilized.
The worry is with the fares charged (very little difference to Bacon) will
they persist with Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Milan & Paris when the time comes to change from the 145.
With only 14 or 15 195's due and I doubt that would they waste them on STR, HAM, Frankfurt (maybe) and Dusseldorf or will they push the Dash 8's on these route perhaps with a cut in frequency?
Milan will have to be a 195 if it is retained but baby are allegedly sniffing
around that route.
I think a good start when it is time to change is to reduce some fares to stimulate interest especially on Paris, Hamburg, Stuttgart & DUS.
Is there a timetable at BHX for the change to the Q400/195 and are anymore 145's going back?
