It certainly does give a good indiciation of fleet utilisation although there are some areas where coverage is not so brilliant. South of Exeter and Southampton especially as the "MLAT" format usually only picks the aircraft up from 8000 feet.
I have tracked over 55 flybe aircraft most days and I think their last presentation mentioned increased utilisation and some days there seems to be less wriggle room if there are weather or tech problems.
As for loads the BHX figures for July showed some healthy increases and they even did pretty well on BHX-BHD up against easyjets 13K pax figure on BFS but whether this was at the expense of yields (lower prices) I am not sure.
Is the timetable known for the first 195's to leave the fleet and the new 175's arriving? I heard a rumour that the next three 175's are complete and virtually ready this is only a rumour.
