Perhaps they should try and set up a flight to Glasgow from BHX. After all, it's not as if there's much competition on that route, is it

Bunch of muppets.

I wonder if this airline has any planes on order?
As there was no mention of a/c on the show, flights might not start till march, but you would have thought the director would have said "We have 4 767/A330's on order from...." < this wasnt the case.

Not matter how cheap or good this airline seems until they GET some A/C there are going by there own name. FLYWHO?????

The guy was made to look like a fool. He was visibly shaking saying that his business was run on trust and that he ran a Christian company. What an Idiot. He'll be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life. Lots of nasty people out there.

There will be no airline from this bunch, never was, never will be, all pie in the sky!!!!
The Watchdog programme was great TV, when Nicky Campbell asked him about why the guy had told his customers that if they talked to Watchdog they wouldn't get a refund, he just prattled on about was how his company had Christian values!

Two worrying things.
Firstly, he continued to insist that the business would eventually get going and secondly just how many gullible people are out there in the big wide world who will happily sign up to fly with an airline they have never heard of and without doing the most basic search on the internet to find out if they have a track record or even if they have an aircraft.

ave none of you ever thought to think about the flywho staff for just a
second – they are the ones that have put up with all the customer complaints and watch their company/CEO get trashed unfairly on TV. Yes it is their choice to stick with the company but at least they haven’t just given up, they are only trying to create a better service for the Midlands and unfortunately it sounds like all people want to do is watch them fail.
How many of you actually know any real facts about this company. Have any of you ever spoken to anyone who works for the company and found out the facts?
All this talk about people not getting their money back is it true? Does
anybody actually know - thought not!

Good luck to them for the future

2SNM, I respect your point of view and the fact that you support flywho and good on you for saying so although I have difficulty understanding why.

However, my comments are based on what makes business sense, what sells seats and makes money. Not on seat pitch, cabin crew uniforms, in-flight meals, nice ideas etc, it's about selling seats, making money, being successful, nothing else. flywho have done NOTHING so far apart from take peoples money, announce start date after start date, give excuses and disappoint customers. Yes there will always be those that will part with money and book with them, very much like the type of people that sign binding contracts with doorstep salesmen. Hopefully, these are few and far between.

Again, I respect your point of view but I have to say that I think you are totally deluded if you think flywho will ever take off under the current management. With all respect to you and those that support flywho, in my experience their supporters are not from a business background and have any idea of what is involved in setting up and airline. Can I ask, what is your support based on?

I have been in the same room as a senior person from flywho and I was staggered by the rubbish they were coming out with, it was laughable and had to be heard to be believed.

I have every sympathy for those that left secure employment to join flywho and I hope they have all found new positions.

Thumbs down flywho passenger??

Yes I am one of those foolish people who booked and paid for my flight to Florida. I did think I researched it, but accept I was carried away by vey pleasant staff, glossy web site, tv advertising and the wish to fly from Birmingham. Since the Watchdog prog. they are no longer taking peoples money for fictitious flights, so one good thing has come out of all this stress. I am that person who Nickie asked him to give a refund to. I still have not got one.

Give them a break

I support Flywho because I know someone who works for them.

All I would like to know is why is it from the very beginning everyone has been so negative towards Flywho, ok so you dont agree with what they are doing but by coming on here and writing your gossip (cause that is all it is) you are ruining peoples business's and lives.

Yes alot of people have been let down but from what I know they are doing there best to sort it out.

But I guess a lot of people find it amusing that the staff are having to put up with vile abusive and threatening behaviour from random members of the public, after all Tuesday night was what you have all been waiting for, to watch a man trying his best, get ridiculed by some jumped up little tv presenter.

Calm down, no one (with an sense in the industry) wants to see an airline fail but it is clear FlyWho will never fly, they have been saying they will for months and months, even changed their name, pictures of A310's, talk of TriStars selling services to customers which havnen;t been fullfilled and bad customer service combined with the performance of the airline's CEO on Watchdog was yet another nail in the FlyWho coffin.

I would love to see FlyWho take to the skies and be a serious airline but fact is they have always been and will always be a an idea and a dream for the owners, if FlyWho ever takeoff and become established I will be more than welcome to come up and buy you a few beers

In the same way you believe many want the airline to fail you too have your blinkers on and don't seem willing to accept any critism of FlyWho. Or was that FlyBlu?

21snm, the best way to sort there problems out are to say, we are buying aircraft on such a date; and not sell any flights until that is confirmed.

I think we all understand here that flywho empolyees are having a hard time at the moment, but what we cant understand is an airline thats sells flights with out even having 1 plane to fly there passengers on .

Consider this 21SNM, if you booked a flight to anywhere costing X amount of money, booked holidays from work, maybe even booking hotels, and then you were told by your airline that the flight has been cancelled and there is no other way to get to MCO/SFB out of BHX wouldn't you be even alittle anoyed?

I hope Flywho sort an A/C out and quick or the Flywho wont get very far.....

If they only stopped taking money on Tuesday then they want locking up. This company and their staff have been responsible over the past few years for quite a few people having to cancel their holidays and it now looks like some folk are going to have a struggle to get their money back.
If some people could see the pending problem from a distance how come those on the inside couldn't see it? Blinkers? Well thats one way of describing it.

People aren't coming on here writing gossip, and certainly not out to ruin people's business and lives.

The facts in the matter are that this airline has announced at least three (maybe four) start dates and defaulted on every single one of them. They have taken money off people for flights that simply weren't in place.

They could have increased their credibility ten fold by stating WHO they had an agreement with to operate their services. Trouble is they never did tell you where the aircraft was coming from or who would be operating the flights. Does that mean no such arangements had ever been made?

I work on the "frontline" with customers and would never ever think its funny to see anyone taking abuse or threatening behaviour. But the flywho customers have a right to be angry. As stated if you've saved all year for a holiday, booked time off work, hotels etc then to be told your flights are cancelled how would you feel?

And the fact people still haven't had refunds is disgusting.

flywho

If my flight had of been cancelled I to would be extremely angry but it must be said some people take things to far, threatening members of their staff over money now that is disgusting.
Surely there is much worse things in the world than having to wait a couple of weeks for a refund. Which everyone was told they will get.
