Anybody know if that awful Let410 thing is still running the Leeds / IOM route ? Have to do the trip next week and wll probably end up posted on that from the Leeds end 
........would rather the J31 was still on it though.

Metros fastest
Ive flown all 3 and metros about 20kts faster than J31 and 500kts faster than L410. 
Its headroom is much lower but you dont trip over the 
spar half way down, seating is 1+1 so you dont get stuck next to some big fat b and evry seat is a window seat. 
id go with the metro every time. Operated them in Germany for 2 years and were very reliable

The last few posts have been, for want of a better word, drivel! The comments are also suitable for a chat line only. PPRuNe is NOT a chat line.
If you have nothing better to do with your time I suggest you start looking because these kind of posts are going to disappear very rapidly from now on.
THINK before you submit.

Word is that Mr Green (JEX) and Mr Hayes (BPS) didn't get on at all well. Major disagreements over payments for fuel uplift etc. JEX are now looking at launching their own services from BLK or so I hear?

Yeah rumor in BLK is still that JEX are the ones looking to start direct BLK-BHD in May
But they are now in competitiun with Jet2s 2x daily BLK BFS. JEX would be mad to start but stranger things have hapened before

You certainly got the Manx Regional people excited - until I pointed out there wasn't a country with the id "KU"
