If they only have 5 seats per flight at that rate then it won't be for bums on seats either
If they did not match the fares of Flybe then quiet simply the forward bookings would dry up. The problem for them now is that they have only LCY left to use as a cash cow with the competition starting at LPL.
One way or another it is all going to end in

If seats are being sold for £9 net, it won't be for cash flow, will it!!! Is that what they call an oxymoron?

Possibly Fred, but if the VLm/AirFrance/CityJet monster does all happen, will it really make much of a difference. I can't see them changing the daystop much, possibly send it down at lunchtime to further pressurise the Red Tails, but is there the trade to justify a Night stop?
If EMX go under, then yes I'd expect them to try basing an F50 here, but not a 146/RJ. Night stopping implies two sets of crew, plus possible standby too. Engineering, hotac, etc. Now if they'd consider something like an AMS-IOM-LCY-IOM-DUB or something like that to capitalise on two way Island to City traffic, you never know.
As you say, interesting times ahead in '08.

Im guessing Summer Schedule, and aircraft might well be on the agenda. Preparing the battle plan against Flybe possibly. Not long to go until the Round One bell goes off.......Ding Ding!

or maybe its to discuss jackanory puntuality figures. Half todays flites are cancelled but on the website next week it'll be the usual 99% on time performance 
. Makes you doubt everything they say if they cant even be straight about punctuality.

I am sure there would have been a press release if any new aircraft were coming, but they would have to have sold the old ones first
.
Most people assume that EMX is in a fragile state with a large debt, it could of course have been making loads of money
on the LPL and LCY routes and be selling the aircraft to reduce the debt burden which WS left it with.

Correct - I use LCY regularly and for me it would mean either a permanent change to VLM or using the FlyMayBe service to the squalor of LGW South terminal. The J41's are great aircraft I'm sure but they feel claustrophobic. As for using them to go on holiday through MAN or LPL I guess we would see excess charges etc appearing as luggage space is limited on the J41's.

EMX today
I notice from the IOM Airport website that EMX have multiple cancellations across the network today, which have impacted all routes at some point.
Looks like they are more than simply one a/c short - anyone know the full story?

EMX Today
The Mother of someone I work with was booked on this evening's EMX flight to MAN. She noticed the cancellations this morning and called the Company to find out if she was going to have a problem. They told her that an aircraft had been struck by lightning but that things would be back to normal later. Clearly they are not.

1 bird strike, 1 lightning strike, 1 avionics prob is what Im told. For lots of today theyve had no aircraft at all flying. BHD canx 2 days running, lots of LPL and MAN canx both days.... but will they still claim 99% on time performance for this week cos iomspotters right, Euromanx dont count a canx flight as running late so on Monday JS will tell us again about the islands most punctual airline..NOT.
