Thank you for clarifying that for me. It was an observation not a criticisim!
I can think of many thinks wrong with Flybe but if I question their maintainance skills it would be somewhat odd to then go and fly around in their aircraft.

You'll probably find your answer on the flybe website rather than pprune.
A short search uncovered this:
http://www.flybe.com/checkin/checkin_pop.htm
You'll find your answer in there...........

As you all know, you can pay £5 per person per sector to pre-book a specific seat (£15 ppps for an extra legroom seat). But if you decide not to do that, is it the standard choose-your-own when onboard? Or do they assign you a seat for free when you check-in at the airport or when you check-in online? Or what? The last time I flew BE was last Nov (EXT-GCI-JER), and I can't remember what they did. Cheers.

Online check-in vs airport check-in.......
You will be assigned a seat at airport check-in, and you usually get the standard 'window or aisle' option.
If you think about it, how chaotic would it be if passengers who had checked in online had assigned seats, and everyone else free boarded !!

How does it work for online check-ins? Can you select your own seat online for free between 2 and 24 hours before departure (the period when you can check-in online)?
Cheers and thanks.

FlyBe QBuster
Am flying BE BHX-GCI-JER this Thur. Can anyone confirm whether BE has a fast checked bag drop (for use if you check-in online) at BHX?
With BE as far as I can remember you can't select your seat with online check-in unless you pay the £5.....so you may aswell just turn up early and get your preferred seat - theres no free seating on BE well not the last time I flew with them in June

Trumpeting how successful they are and the profit they've made. I was a bit surprised at them saying how loss making the former Bacon routes from BRS were, I always thought they were some of the most profitable routes.

Bacon Routes
Bacon routes from BRS had good load factors. Flybe are unable to provide anything like Bacon professional product, also soon as there is a bit of competition on routes, and Flybe cant have the monopoly, they run scared.. This is probably the main reason no other Airline operates schedule services from EXT. Flybe probably hold the Airport to ransom, thus preventing any other operator operating. 
On a lighter note good luck to BRS with the two main LOCOs

I believe all the 145s that where owned outright have been solded and then leased back to Flybe. I believe they will be gradually being replaced as more Q400s coming on line
