On a related note, looking at the stats for the NCL route its not doing too badly, 500 plus passengers a month on a 1 weekly saturday route.
Anyone know what BE plans for NQY ?

INV-LGW is going to 2 x daily 175 this winter with the midday flight dropped. The 175 will be operating the AMS midday which frees up the Q400 between the morning and evening MAN rotations to do the BHX as well.

Thrice daily ERJ190 to twice daily ERJ175 in a year? That's not gonna last to the summer if frequent flyers choose easyJet for the off peak and don't come back.

Regarding the Engine issue, it was an IFSD due to fluctuating oil temp and ITT. The aircraft diverted to MAN, which as luck would have it was where the a/c and crew are based. The flight was then continued to NQY on a Emb175.
Not a big deal, in fact it probably wasn't an issue at all, but we'll have to wait and see about that!

INV-LGW
Just looking at some random dates in the flybe booking engine, and midday INV-LGW-INV is still bookable.
INV-LGW 07:10-08:55 BE7320 LGW-INV 09:25-11:10 BE7321
INV-LGW 12:25-14:10 BE7324 LGW-INV 14:40-16:25 BE7325
INV-LGW 17:05-18:50 BE7326 LGW-INV 19:20-21:05 BE7327
Random dates selected were Wed 12Dec. Fri 11Jan, Mon 11Feb, Tue 19Feb..
Surely if the decision had been made to drop the midday service it would be on stopsale by now?
The seat selection page shows E175/88Y operating the lunchtime flight on these dates...although Row 3+4 and Row 19 are not pre bookable (so that would take the available seat count down to 78Y = Q400)...

Accordingto Jethro's, BE are to park up 4 x Q400's for the winter. This will be in additon to the two additional aircraft heading off to Brussels. However, the same source also shows 4 x E175's due to arrive over the same period.
Aero - apart from Aurigny, who else flies London-Guernsey ?
Would have thought that routes to GCI, JER and IOM would probably be the least likely to be dropped by flyBE out of all the Gatwick routes, given BE's general grip on air transport to these islands

Anyone here know if the rumor is true that LGW-BHD is being dropped?

HAJ down to 7/7 late morning depature
The issue with the half redundant spare Dash at BHX may have been resolved. HAJ has been reduced to 7/7 for the winter and re-timed to a late morning BHX departure Mon-Fri. In addition to the time changes for the Sat (3h later) and Sun flights (3h earlier) this route's schedule has become a lot less attractive now.

EXT - BCN
New routes announced today for S13 between Exeter and Barcelona, also return of the Nice.
Both operate twice weekly
Good to see some new routes being announced particularly from the likes of Exeter. Hopefully we shall see some more over the next few months!

Not entirely sure yet - I have two thoughts on this, the E195 wasnt used to its full potential even in the summer when it was often seen doing the MAN sectors. In theory you could get 3 spanish destinations out of it during a day with an early morning start and a late finish.
Or, as suggested in a recent staff letter the Q400 that is being removed from Exeter for the winter may be replaced by a E175. This may be the one used for Barcelona as it will be a new route and new destination?

Flybe - Exeter to Barcelona and Nice
In the news story on EXT's official website, the Flybe director of marketing is quoted:
With passengers able to enjoy the comfortable seating offered by our 118-seat Embraer 195 jet aircraft, this announcement further reinforces Flybe’s commitment to bringing convenient, affordable travel to the South West...............
So Nice returns after an absence of four years. A sign that the airline believes this type of market might be improving?

This is good news!
However the website says "seats are available to book NOW" to Nice and Barcelona. But you can't book them! They are not there. You can book flights to nice via cdg AF code share at the cost of a small mortgage.
Come on guys! This is why people think we are an amateur airline. Epic fail again Flybe.
