The "big announcement" is meant to be on Monday from what I understand.

Nothing to do with SOU or FAB though, all to do with things much (much) further North.

The Franchise

Flybe signs historic franchise deal with Loganair
14 January 2008
Flybe is today announcing a landmark franchise Agreement signed with Loganair, the Scottish regional airline, that will see it take to the skies in Flybe colours on 26th October 2008 at the start of the IATA 2008 Winter Season. As a result of the Agreement - that becomes effective once Loganair’s current Agreement operating as a British Airways franchisee ends on 25th October - 3.2 million seats for flights with Flybe flight numbers will go on sale in June 2008. The Agreement with Loganair – the first of its kind ever for a low cost carrier - is in line with Flybe’s innovative philosophy and strategy of continuing to build a market-leading position as Europe's largest regional airline following last year’s acquisition of BA Connect. It is also further evidence of the airline’s commitment to building a significant presence in the Scottish market and to expanding its route network there, extending Flybe’s low fare model throughout the UK - including the Highlands and Islands - which have not previously benefited from low cost airlines.
`Flybe Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jim French says: “This landmark agreement, the first time a low cost carrier has entered into such a franchise arrangement, is an exciting development in the evolution of the low cost model and one which Flybe sees as a valid strategic option for the future.”
In further comment, Loganair’s Chairman Scott Grier says: “This is an exciting time for everyone at Loganair and a significant step for the company. The move to become a franchise partner with Flybe provides certainty and removes speculation about the future of the company. We continue to be committed to operating throughout the Highlands and Islands and this will benefit our customers with a greater choice of connections to UK and European destinations.”
Mr French adds: “This is a win-win for both airlines. For Flybe, we will see our presence in the key Scottish market greatly enhanced and will benefit from increased passenger traffic into our existing network. For Loganair, the alliance is a major opportunity to bring the recognised brand of Europe’s largest regional airline and the benefits of the low cost model to over half a million passengers.”

All well and good but why the f**k did they have to wake me at 7'oclock with a text message

Amazing how they can get their act together to send out mass txts but they can't manage to ring me to tell me of a roster change/ hotel change/positioning flight change etc etc

Do I get to claim a day off in lieu because they have disturbed me

Inconsiderate bunch of BTSADRAS. I got in the house last night at 1am following 10 hours and 4 sectors. I then get woken up at 7am with a stupid text telling me about useless company information. I have already reported it to the CAA and if I do not get a day off in lieu I will take 5 off sick. Up to you Flybe. I am very angry. In fact I am sick for later on today. Find some other mug.

Angel What Next

Well the march to Flybe's complete domination of the UK continues unchecked,
What next is on the cards down there in the West Country before the start of summer 2008?
