Doesn't half piss the punters off though.
Unfortunately Mad_jock, the punters have only got themselves to blame for that one. If they hadn't gone running to the European Courts for compensation than EU261 would quite possible not be in existence now.
The company I work for used to do the same as FlyBe, delay one flights as long as required and operate the rest according to schedule. Now with EU261 we change aircraft around to keep the arrival delays under 3 hours. Can't really blame the company for this.
Good luck to all the FlyBe staff, it must be a dreadfull time.
