Its such a shame that EM are taking the stick once again but as always it seems to be their choice of words made in their announcments that cause them the most problems, mind you they have possibly done there "favourite rival" operator in the IOM a favour by postinga EM advertisement above their check in desk reminding people "now you have a choice" in relation to their Manchester route over the last few weeks its been very handy for the residents of the IOM to know they can go to Manchester with a reliable airline when EM cancel

Re-3w disruptions
Not a good day so far today.
Watching IOM airport arrivals/departures board almost all 3W flights delayed by at least 30mins some almost 2hours.
Why o why,with now 4 Red-tails remote parked and leased ATR,s and ATP,s operating all flights.
One can only assume a dreadful lack of crews to operate,1 RJ,2 328's and 1 Dash-8.
Promises,promises.
New routes to come!3W cannot competantly operate the present network of routes.

Delays again
As a twice weekly commuter on Euromanx I'm delayed yet again. I haven't had a flight leave on time for the last month. How much longer can they treat their customers is such a shoddy manner?
With their recent price rises its now cheaper for me to take two BA flights to get to my destination, and probably quicker!

I have used 3W a few times this year with a usual ticket price of Ł119. Now the price on that route, two weeks in advance, is Ł165.
I can think of three different reasons why an airline might hike the price like this:
A. The competition has done likewise so the airline can compete with impunity.
B. The airline concerned is greedy.
C. The airline has a short term cash flow, has the creditors on its back and is panicking.
Notwithstanding the above I have found the service excellent and punctual and wish them luck.

Surely everyone and anyone who wanted a 'photo of the 328's,RJ
and Dash,has had more than enough time.
I suppose that a shot of anyone of them actually operating must be something of a novelty.
If it were possible looks like todays performance even worse than yesterday!!!!

Here's a pic of the second Dash OE-HBC.
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=490078
Also seen at Toronto/Pearson on the 3rd June was the third, OE-HBB.
Does anyone know the whereabouts of C-FEPA ? This was once G-JEDX of Jersey European/Flybe! It's a small world!
Edited to say C-FEPA could well be OE-HBB/C now,and there may be only two!

Ta muchly for the picture plug George I just wonder how long it will take them to get the damn thing operating.
Still, at least one of the Do.328's being used and that has to be an improvement. Roll on an all Manx fleet. Pretty boring though lol!!
And I hope it all starts to come together now. Especially as my son starts there on monday!!
