Well either it's global warming or SCS is subsiding at one end after a few yrs of 146's enthusiastic landings - they certainly used to run this contract with 2 aircraft.

The 501 and the 503 come back to ABZ to operate the 507 and 509 I think and the 505 stays up there for a while not 100% sure though
The issues with payload are when the runway in SCS is wet and there is little headwind. This mainly effects R06. In these cases they usually operate all 4 aircraft. Not usually a payload problem leaving SCS.

Good evening G-STAW.
A colleauge of mine tells me that Flightline are sending 2 146 a/c to Flybe for maintenance in September. Something seriously amiss here, SEN hangar doors locked, management not speaking, contracts renewal not being considered

I was told this morning by someone at SEN that the Flightline Engineering hangar is closed because a new floor is being laid and work carried out on the roof to rectify numerous water leaks.

Time marches on and nothing remains the same. CAA piles on restrictions (usually because of accident and near misses), aircraft get heavier every year and so have the passengers( especially in the offshore business). Runways wear out and this affects stopping distances. Airfields need to be upgraded and someone has to pay. Equipment/aircraft require updating as well... and someone has to pay, or put it on the price of petrol

Accounts ledgers being used as reinforcement 
Slightly more seriously, I'd be very surprised if FlyBe didn't have a pop at the Scatsta contract. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors!

3 way merger?
With Walsh, Stelios and Branston all cuddling up at Costa, is it just a matter of time before the first "Easy British Virgin" flight takes to the skies around the North East?
Can't wait to see the livery

Flightline and BACF
Cheers everyone for the info given so far.
Flightline start operating more flights for BACF from Monday 8th. The 2nd 146 will be based in EDI and will operate EDI/LCY/EDI/LCY/NCE/LCY/EDI.
Does anyone know if the aircraft will carry BA marking as G-FLTB has been?
Any idea of the aircraft reg?.
