Dublin/Milk run/BHX

Flitefone

Pretty much as I remember it, sad as it sounds I used stand on the spiral staircase at BHX in the middle of winter at around 19.30, as a 14/15 year old and count the pax in and out. Stand 10 on the old terminal and I am sure on some flights the starboard engine remained at idle as the pax disembarked.

When the Dan Air 748 (not the Boeing version for our younger readers) ended it was taken over by a Metropolitan Shorts I believe for an all too short period.

Back to present day, flybe has allocated a 195 to BHX - AMS for winter on all three flights but the often over-subscribed Paris is still showing as the 175.

Also without being greedy wouldn't the aircraft due to be allocated to Dublin - LCY now be better directed towards BHX, especially as a couple more city routes have been left vacant, one from today and one in a couple of months?

I assume with the Brussels Airlines agreement coming to an end flybe are not going for an extension or isn't that on the agenda?
