All was goin well that day which is gd, but it did start to unravel for the MAN rotations mid afternoon. BE7346 returned to stand with a tech problem, and pax disembarked. A brand new spare part arrived from BHX, but when fitted produced another fault, which is when the new plan was devised for the BE7348.
A 145 did the 7347 then 7346 from MAN, with the 7346 departing IOM at 2030.
A 195 from BHX positioned up to IOM to pick up a big load and went out to MAN as the 7348 at 2240.
Flybe will bust a gut to get all passengers where they need to be on the same day, but unfortunately there will be instances where it isnt possible, due to crew hours, tech a/c, airport closing times, or even all BE a/c operating etc.
Of late though, Flybe performance on the IOM has been very good, and all is running smoothly with the combined BE and EMX passengers. Keep it up all
