flybe are up against jets on BHX-DUS and MAN - DUS and despite the low load factors the BHX service is alleged to be more than profitable although I don't have no evidence to back that up with.
You would think BHX-MXP and BHX-STR would be the first to get the 175 due to the range especially the former but look at the current competition on those routes.......yes none and I assume that is the reason.
BHX's first 175 is inbound now and I assume it is all go for tomorrow 3 x BHX-DUS-BHX.
