Dutchbird - pay no attention to Certa Cito's comment about Q400s.
Its just another pointless comment from someone who should forget the past and get on with their current jobs.
The announcement will come and you wont be disappointed.
Its just a matter of time, have patience.

Something is happening because the BA intranet has blocked access to pprune this week. I have had a look at the threads and cannot see anything in the last week to get upset about. Maybe Waterside want to minimise any leakages. Of course it may be a number of large reductions in services throughout the network and Scotland being left to CX.
PPRune access being blocked
HZ123 - I can think of a very good reason for the BA internet proxy servers to block access to PPRune, namely to ensure that when at work people get on with their work instead of spending time gossiping about rumours !

The EDi/GLA - LGW with Flyb has been a very strong rumour over the last few months. There is now an E195 based in EDI . Find it hard to believe that they are sticking a E195 in EDI just to do SOU and BHX.

Just what AF/Cityjet wanted to hear!
Got to hand it to the 'professionals' in Didsbury and Waterside...
Just a matter of time until flybe swallow the whole lot up.
BA didnt want a 'prop' fleet, so they got rid of the ATP and Dash8s. They got rid of the routes that these aircraft flew - to flybe.com and took a share in said airline too.
NOW we see that BACityflyer will take Dash8-400s! Whats the mainstay of flybes fleet? Rumour has it that flybe will in due course, take over the LGW-EDI/GLA route with 190s. Bring it on!
Think about it. Flybe have a FULL engineering base at EDI/GLA with spares for the Q400 and 190. Whats the cost / timescale of re-training the BACF engineers. Costings and timescales too for crews to convert...
BA has maintained its stake in flybe for a reason. Theres now another reason for keeping it and possibly upping it, and giving flybe some more work!

I wouldnt say so to be honest, the LCY operation is very successful & profitable by all accounts, why else would BA of kept it in the first place during the sell off to flybe?
If anything i would think that we could see a gradual increase in operations from cityflyer and i wouldnt be too surprised to see the cityflyer brand taking on some of the mainline domestic services ex LGW and i also wouldnt be surprised if cityflyer keep the rj's and keep flightline
Also, Flybe doesnt operate Nextgen q400's do they ?

Where's the link?
Just did a search on all of the key words and nothing!
Wind up? I hope so or BACityflyer don't know their market very well.
