Don't forget that BE have the final 4 Q400's on definite order due in Q2 and Q3 next year, so they will need to find quite a bit of new work to keep them occupied.

I'm aware they are still hanging on to the last 2 ex-SAS models right now and there have been rumours of some of the very early indigenous ones going too, but I'm sure when these deliveries were deferred to 2011, it was intended to use them for network growth.

Q400 exclusive charter for just one male and one female passenger. Red carpet was laid out for these two in a big way. Aircraft parked outside Walker Hangar and met by Rutter apparently.

Understand that they were AF execs in the airport department (whatever that is) I think it may be about the new French bases.

Air France

Air France to create 'provincial bases' in network overhaul

I wonder how this fits with this article.

This seems to indicate Air France mainline but I suppose there are enough other secondary French cities/towns where flybe could operate from.

No Lyon to start with but easy are already based, which might the reason.

More likely the reason is that AF have a connecting hub operation in Lyon so timings are based on connecting waves and can't easily be changed into high-utilisation point-to-point patterns.

Lyon

Cyrano

Cheers for the link and the domestic hub does look quite good.

Not sure about international, have they not just lost direct Brit Air
services to Madrid, Munich and Copenhagen? Doesn't seem to mention these
but I am sure they are all via CDG now could be wrong though.

Who knows.....

Maybe the big 42" TV and dvd player that turned up in the crewroom today is just so we can watch the flybe TV commercials over and over again during our pre-flight briefs

I reckon it's so that we can fill in our Airport Standbys while having Jim talk about "the bigger picture".

Or they have recorded a new video to go with the FlyBE unplugged boarding music. FlyBE Unwired...

Maybe it is so we can all listen to a message from the "leader" before we all start our days work. Only found out today we have the music back. Death by Flybe unplugged again then.......

Wouldn't have thought so seem to concentrate on BHX with the exception of BHD-EMA.

Darwin purchased Baboo today, so I guess there goes the rumour of Flybe buying the loss making airline! Could be why no announcement has been made this week...
