Oh do stop with the "Flymaybe" nonsense, do you know how pathetic and childish that sounds? Grow up.

As for Flybe cancelling on a whim and Aurigney not, I'm afraid you're a tad blinkered. I operated into Guernsey last week in the Q400. We didn't leave base until Guernsey was workable weather wise, a 2hr delay ensued, the company got another crew to operate our sectors after the channel islands so we could stay with the aircraft and get the pax to their destination (Jer/Gci). So Flybe did give a stuff, and did make allowances where possible. With a large operation it isn't always as simple as waiting around waiting for the weather to clear, invariably this will have a knock on effect to every other flight that aircraft is doing for the rest of the day, something which Aurigney either hasn't got to worry about or that's why they are losing an inordinate amount of money. You can't make money as an airline on goodwill.
