I flew Flybe MAN to Exeter on Friday in a Q-400, I wasn't carrying any form of luggage, just a wallet, mobile phone, memory stick and a pen. I needed to get from A-B on time, and I couldn't care less about coffee, noisy props or max cruising speed. The experience was all just fine for me in the context of my needs that day. It wasn't overly noisy, I was comfortable and the cabin crew were exemplary.
I have suffered in the past at the hands of Michael O'Leary and his "Any time will do, you only paid £3 for the ticket" approach and the Easyjet Baggage Taliban.. its all relative and much of a muchness in terms of Low cost travel. As I read the Flybe strategy, they do not want to be an LCC though..??
Instead of moaning about being able to find an airline that meets all of your varying needs, simply choose a carrier which meets your needs on any given day.. its not difficult.
