'There have been numerous occasions where the 146 has been given silly speed limits stream arrivals and to stop it overtaking some of those turboprops on the way back....quite frustrating for Henry &co as it's plainly obvious that with a good 100kts or so on the TPs they'd eat it alive if given the chance.'

Isle of Man Ground Handling
Does anyone have any news about the FlymayBe/BACON handling contract for IOM. Flight Support currently handles FlymayBe while Manx Regional handle BACON. Nobody is quite sure who will get the combined contract, any ideas????
Flight Support are a sister company of Euromanx and if they were to get the current BACON flights would handle a massive percentage of pax through IOM, not a good thing, and Manx Regional offer a great service so it would be a shame

While taxying out on board my VLM service to LCY today I saw a FlyBe E-Jet waiting for us to clear Foxtrot, and, my goodness, this is a beautiful aeroplane! Unfortunately it seemed to be a tad too long to fit on the new stands and ended up parked on the new Stand 3, which looks like it was designed for a B767 or larger...
If FlyBe deploy this aircraft on the IoM/LGW route, I will be a frequent flyer.The old adage "If it looks good, it is good" applies to this airframe!
Outstanding!

You Beauty!
Indeed - the E195 does look like a "proper" aeroplane. Shame it's only once a week & therefore not able to avail itself of the nose-in stands due to lack of towbar. Still - if the FlyMayBe/Bacon merger has not collapsed as rumoured then we may, I repeat MAY see more of its kind in the future. However it could struggle using 21/03 whenthe RESA project starts..................

There are more jobs opening up at Flight Support for ground handlers and dispatchers, however I've been told they're internal only at the minute, open to some of the ground guys at Manchester?
The above info was given to me by a mate in manchester so if it's wrong, don't shoot the messenger
.Cheers

thanks skiddy, just the wait and see at the moment, Flight Support are looking for 17 new members of staff at the moment, so its not looking too good for manx regional, but then hopefully it could be a repeat of RE, look at that contract now though, 2006 MAN, LPL, LTN, DUB 2007 DUB

I know bmi looked very closely at operating the EDI route last year but decided not to as they couldn't fly their ERJs full. Would this not also be the case into Manchester?

It matters not who flies where, who handles who and what aircraft are used, the Engineering side of BA CON is on it's last legs. There WILL be redundancies and there WILL be people leaving the island because of it no matter what the Government, BA or Flybe say.
The old Manx/BRAL, BACX/BA Connect outfit is down to a paper airline with 8 RJ100's and no support whatsoever. BA CityFlyer will last just as long as BA are prepared to put up with the same inept managers running it as with the previous shows.
Gissajob!!

yeah skiddy thats true, at the end of the day there will be redundancies but at least the more airlines that do operate the more need there is for ground staff, BMI would be a good move, they have smart ac but its the problem of the ERJ's and IOM again....

red, fella, thers loads going on here and some know exactly whats going to happen like that fella in commercial with the redtails but trouble is nobody is telling anybody which is unusual for us manxies. Got to be some moves made soon. The government is still harping on about the luton route closure but no takers who can blame them. Yessir, someones got to make a move cos those that don't may get caught out if some outsdiers decide to move in again.

Full Circle?
I'm sure you all remember, but the once great Manx Airlines was actually set up by a team from British Midland under orders from Mr Bishop, more than 20 years ago. Could it happen again? The twin Beech has been seen visiting the Island quite regularly.
