Silverstreak,
Understand that it is going to happen but await a start date, like you.
I flew from Southampton to Edinburgh last weekend, the flight left slightly early, by 3 or 4 minutes, it was full, the aircraft was a Dash 8 Q400, it was clean and tidy, the cabin crew were very professional and charming, thanks also to the flight crew, who flew us upto Edinburgh and we landed 15 minutes ahead of schedule. I would use Flybe anytime and without hesitation, would recommend it to my friends and colleagues.
