Flybe to but BACon
Continuation of: http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...238786&page=12
Does their announced takeover of BACon mean that Flybe have fulfilled their plans to introduce new routes from Manchester?
Interesting times ahead......

From what Willy Walsh has said, I'd reckon on the only BA flights ex Manchester will be to Heathow, Gatwick and New York and I'd say the latter must be looking vulnerable as a stand-alone route.
This is all part of London Airways's plan to be 'fit for five' and screw everywhere else!

It ios sad to see BA leaving Manchester, because that's essentially what is happening.
I can;t see the JFK working unless they compliment it with another long haul in order to utilise aircraft and crew.

Good ! perhaps we might get an airline that promotes expansion rather than contraction. BA left Manchester years ago in commitment and reality. Not flown with them for years, the people of the north couldnt give 2 hoots about their presence.
Anybody know what will happen to the BA hangar now, can someone explain to me why this hangar remains empty and secured years after its construction. Surely the airport can get this disgraceful situation resolved.

Whoever starts using the hangar will have to pay rates to Manchester City Council. While it's empty, they don't.
The hangar is owned by BA on land leased from the airport. Either the airport buys it back, or BA sells the lease or sublets it someone else. Either way I don't see a large market for over-specified hangars with air-conditioned toilets and gold taps.

Living in Manchester?
Can anyone help please, we are crew based at EMA but looking to relocate to Manchester in December, could anyone based at Manchester airport recommend any decent area's in which to live in close proximity of the airport ( for standbys) in more importantly WHICH AREA'S NOT TO LIVE IN! as we really dont know anything about any of the area's. We currently live in Nottingham at the moment and within 5 months 1 of us has already been mugged in broad daylight, and obviously dont want to jump out of the pan and in to the fire. Thanks folks B_R

Keep away from Wythenshawe and its associated areas (Benchill, Sharston, Newall Green). Heald Green is OK, along with Cheadle (mostly) and out that way. Altrincham also good. No guarantees about not being mugged anywhere in this day and age, but you ought to have a better chance of avoiding it there.

Quick tip: If it's cheap don't move there. Have a good look at the preferential routes and don't buy underneath the flight-paths if you are doing night flights and sleeping during the day.

If you have children who need good schools, try anywhere around Altrincham, Timperley, Hale or Sale.
Brighton Rocks please check your PMs again.
Believe me there is nothing gold plated or over specified about the (ex) BA hangar.
As for Air Con....that is the biggest joke.
