Well said, Rivet Joint. Youre talking sense
Compare Flybe to travelling domestically by rail (including Southern Railways, or Crosscountry Trains)!!
I am extremely grateful for Flybe and I fear if they were to go, the routes I fly very regularly would either not be covered, or be flown by a carrier and aircraft type I'd be very unhappy with.
Before criticising a carrier, it is worth reflecting on how much has to go on behind the scenes to make a flight go on time, then remember how much of those factors are outside the control of that carrier.
Yes management, crew, ops, dispatch can all have bad days, and can make wrong calls, but they are dealing with hi-tech machinery and systems that on the whole have very good dispatch reliability, and wherever there is mass human interaction, things aren't always perfect.
What sector are you in and do you deliver better, on such wafer-thin margins??
