Can somebody tell me from what BE base will engineers will have to come from to fix the Dash 8 in Waterford. I would of expected that they would of sent a replacement aircraft over to take passengers to BHX but they just cancelled the flight. They have done it for all other BE flights I have being on that were delayed due to tech problems.

AAIB report
The actions of a Flybe crew reacting to a false emergency alarm "significantly degraded the operational capability" of the plane, a report has said.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said the Newquay-Edinburgh flight, made an emergency descent on 21 July.
The aircraft began to depressurize after a "spurious" smoke warning forced the crew to follow emergency protocol to remove smoke.

What point are you trying to make with your post about the Flybe incident?
If it is for genuine information I have absolutely no problem with it at all.
Having looked through many of your previous posts though you do seem to have a very negative view of Flybe. Once again I have no particular problem with that as long as there is no malice involved.
I must stress I have no connection at all with Flybe. I just fly with them several times a year.

I was about to post suggesting that this was a good opportunity for Loganair. It was an old Loganair route anyway, they stepped into the breach when Capital went bust in 1990 but were kicked off in favour of British Midland when the Airlines of Britain group was "reorganised". Route went from 3 daily business friendly flights on the SD360 to twice daily on the ATP, SF340, ERJ-145, ERJ-135.

Flybe appoint Lord Digby Jones as a Non Excutive Director
Taken from the LSE newswire this morning :-
Flybe Group plc
("Flybe" or "the Group")
Appointment of Lord Digby Jones as non-executive Director
Flybe, Europe's largest regional airline, is pleased to announce the appointment of Lord Jones of Birmingham as a non-executive Director with effect from 23 April 2012.
Lord Jones is a former Minister of State for Trade & Investment and Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), a post he held between January 2000 and June 2006. Currently, he is a Business Ambassador at UK Trade & Investment and Chairman of the British Airways International Business Advisory Board.
Additionally, Lord Jones is Chairman of Triumph Motorcycles Limited, Grove Industries Limited, Neutrino Concepts Ltd and the Emergency Services Advisory Board of Babcock International Group plc. Lord Jones is also Senior Advisor to HSBC, Harvey Nash plc and Argentex LLP, Corporate Ambassador to Jaguar Cars and a Corporate Advisor to JCB.
Jim French, Chairman and Chief Executive of Flybe, commented:
"We are absolutely delighted that Digby is joining the Flybe Board. He is a true champion of British industry and business and - like Flybe - is especially passionate about training and skills development.
"Flybe, as Europe's largest regional airline, is now firmly established as one of the UK's leading aviation groups and, as we seek to establish our own clear positions across vital and pressing industry policy initiatives, we will benefit hugely from Digby's insight and counsel. On behalf of Flybe, I extend a very warm welcome to Digby."
Lord Jones said:
"I am extremely excited to be joining Flybe, one of the UK's outstanding business success stories which, in just a decade, has become Europe's largest regional airline. As well as a successful airline, Flybe is also an outstanding example of what can be done by business to improve the quality of training for the next generation: Flybe's Training Academy, apprenticeship scheme and work with Exeter College and Exeter University are equipping young people with valuable skills and attracting the brightest and best from around the country. This is a vital contribution to skilling the UK to meet the challenges of a globalised economy.
"Flybe, for me, embodies the best of British business and I am greatly looking forward to working with my new colleagues."

Well, notwithstanding all the 'cup half empty' posts (thanks for those by the way, you guys should be in journalism), I did a quick troll on google for Digby. His expertise seems to lay in mergers and aquisitions, globally. He's spent years travelling the world bashing out deals, sometimes in the national interest and sometimes for individual companies. He's part troubleshooter, part nose gunner and part entrepreneur. I haven't come across a single article where his involvement hasn't been of some benefit. The projects he chooses always seem to be an offshoot of an exsisting tenure (either longstanding friends, communities he has an attachment to or subsiduaries of businesses he is already involved in). His involvement doesn't appear to be associated with doing a company's dirty work for them, in fact, he seems particularly outspoken agaisnt this sort of thing (I hope). He never hangs about for very long though.
How much time and energy he has to put in to Flybe is possibley a rather moot point. His job, I supect, will be to be on the end of a communication chain for our commmercial team. As we have all been told, repeatedly, in every single communique for upstairs, 'markets remain challenging' and Flybe have had the rug pulled out from under them a number of times recently. My feeling is this is a move to strengthen their negotiating position for future (or ongoing) deals.
Could all be a load of old tosh though of course.
