EK77WNCL what do you mean Flybe have some on offer? BA Cityflier is not a step upwards. Flybe are not "offering" anything or "offering" anybody. I can't see many leaving Flybe to go and live in London for slightly worse money. If our jets are to go (which there is no indication that they are) then you might see some transfer of crews. At the moment we are short of Embraer pilots so there isn't a surplus with nowhere to go. Any pilots moving off the jet fleet at the moment are going to the Middle East or BA mainline etc, but not Cityflier.

Yes emb-145 but the point is that it's not always about the company is it. Who would leave Flybe to join cityflier when you get paid slightly less, you have to commute to LCY and on the whole the benefits of working there are not significantly more than what Flybe offers. So to my mind something would have to attract me to them rather than another big player, such as quick Ejet command, losing your job at Flybe, disgruntled in your job at Flybe etc etc. It wouldn't be the natural career progression of alot of pilots at Flybe unless there are underlying reasons to leave.

...no nothing more except they'll pre plan to be limited both out and inbound. Presumably not a huge amount or it will be hardly worth their while. Expect fares to be disproportionately higher.

I fly the E175 in the US and we regularly do 1,800+ mile sectors of over five hours. Granted we are launching off a runway nearly twice as long as City, but I would have though that the E170 would be capable of both of these new Greek routes without too many limitations?

DUS
Just noticed that BACF's LCY-DUS is showing on BA.com as once again being operated by a T3 S2000 from 30th March to 5th September. Does anyone know if this is correct?. I thought the DUS route was doing quite well.

Notice on jethro's fleet listings that T3 S2000 G-CDKA is to be leased to BACF.
Does anyone know if the aircraft is replacing either G-CDEB or G-CERZ already leased to BACF or is this lease in addition to these aircraft. If in addition what route will the aircraft be used to operate.

From looking at today's movement on Flightradar it appears CDKA might be replacing one of the other S2000s.
CDKA operated LCY-DUS rotations today, CDEB operated the first IOM-LCY rotation but was then replaced by CERZ which had positioned DUS-IOM which resulted in both CDEB and CERZ being at Ronaldsway this morning.
CDKA may of course just be a lease for maintenance cover but I don't know if that is the case.
Hope the above helps.
