You seem to know rather alot...
Why would Eastern take on 4 clapped out 146's?
Wonder if BA are paying him again to take aircraft off their hands again?
Was it over dinner or in an airport coffee bar?

They will be used for Business class charters. If you have ever flown Eastern you'll know they provide a quality service - I can see where R.L is coming from with this type of service - its how flying used to be and should be. But hey you pay for what you get.

So will airfrump tell us when this deal is taking place then?.
I'd check your info on the J41's, the 12 ex bral machines are still on lease from BAE systems then sub leased to air kilroe by BA/BACON/Flybe.
Might have to start preparing for another move then with regards to Eastern, don't fancy living down at Humberside!.

Are they really gonna have mainline BA flights handled by Aviance and the Highland and Islands Loganair services handled by Servisair.
Or is BA pushing out Loganair quite as obviously as it seems?

Yes its funny that BA have decided on Aviance for the Shuttle's but Loganair have gone for Servisair to do their handling. I know of at least two Loganair passengers who have been denied access to the BA lounge since the hand over. The situation at Inverness is even funnier. There are no BA flights anymore to LGW since they are all Flybe now. The BA Exec Lounge is therefore standing empty since Loganair who are now the only BA flag carrier at INV are not willing to pay the charges to the HIAL for the rent of the Lounge. Never mind, no diminishment in the level of service has been promised......

So any up-to-date gen on Logie?
Are they still planning on replacing their Saab 340s, was it Dash 8-300s that were rumoured?
Are they going to stay with the inter-Scottish routes, or try further afield, as they used to do.
Any more news on the "talks with Eastern" or was that a figment of someone's fertile imagination?

Aah the happy days of MAN / GLA / EDI - BHD, the innovative Airbridge fares (£25 o/w) which made Logie the original Lo Co.
Being the first manager to answer the phone in the morning meaning having to face SG's wrath for whatever had gone wrong the previous day...
Takes me right back

Def true about 3 more Saab's, 340B's. Not sure if they're bought or leased though however there has been an announcement. The talk recently was that they were to replace the A models but nothing mentioned in the official employee update last week

Inside source says the new CEO has been briefing crews in Glasgow during recurrent training. Three new 340B's (from Mexico) will be owned by Loganair, 2 x 340A's will disappear. Aberdeen and Edinburgh possible expansion, BA franchise to be over by next year, finances are healthy and possible link with some other operator but company not for sale. Source also says staff are being canvassed on new uniforms?? but not on aircraft paintjob!
Sorry all!

Hmmm, the information in the FlyBe thread could mean anything and nothing at all for Flybe. Another scenario: The end of Euromanx with Flybe taking over the pax to London, Belfast, Manchester.
Quite honestly, I do not see why Flybe would be more interested in Loganair than, say, Eastern. Eastern has a much more interesting network from Flybe's perspective as quite a few of their routes served with 30 or 50 seaters might work with a Q400 and lower prices. I do not really see that for Loganair. Flying a Q400 between Benbecula and Glasgow or Sumburgh and Kirkwall? I don't think so, and I would be surprised if Flybe would consider using knackered 20-30seaters now that they are desperately trying to rid themselves off the BACON ERJ145s.
