I'd say he just wants to know if there is a possibility of flybe starting another route from Derry.
Very good to here the extension of services at NOC, think it's a matter of time till BE intervene on the MAN route... but I wouldn't be surprised if FR acted on the BHX vacancy.

Flybe Management
From recollection (around time of float) the senior management of Flybe were unable to sell their shares for six months. That time is almost up.
So the question for the day is if they sell up and go who will they miss the most?
Uncle Jim (is he a one man show), the Ops head Stong I think, Rutter in Marketing or the CFO.
Now I know the answer you want to post is none, as the suits add nothing and the workers deliver all, but I would be interested in the answer.

Anyone aware of the current DH4 fleet plans? They seem to have had a brand new one parked in a hangar at Exeter since delivery 2-3 weeks ago with no sign of it entering service. Not financially beneficial long term you would think.

If you go to the LGW Arrivals/Departures boards, there are BA flight numbers on BHD, IOM, NCL, NQY as well as the usual ABZ and INV flights.
Would appear to be a new series of codeshares which have been slipped in under the radar.
Surprised the BE propaganda machine hasn't trumpeted this in advance.

Are BE jumping into bed with everyone?
Before long they'll be able to close their own website down and run on BA, EY etc!

Why would you book a flybe flight on eg BA.com?
I have compared prices on both BA.com / Flybe.com for various code shared flights though dont understand the massive price differences!
Is it that you get BA lounge access / Miles / BA's baggage allowance?
Can anyone shed any light on this?

the main reason i would is for some sort of protection in the event of delays or misconnects. i wouldnt book the ba coded flight as a stand alone.
for instance if i wanted to travel to BGI on BA and could book ex NQY, i could be protected if a delay happens and have my bags transferred between LGW south and north

It's a very good tool for both carriers actually. BA can remain in the regions (sort of) and passengers are able to book fares around the world on one ticket from their local departure point. Also, BE will then be able to sell seats they may not have been able to do so otherwise.
A quick question. Say a passenger flying BA from NQY to say, BGI (example used before). If they're flying F/J, I'm guessing they're allowed to take their full BA weight allowance on the BE flight?

NO flybe flights from LGW are available for sale through BA.COM apart from those operated by LC and BE service from LGW-INV
Tomorrow IAG will announce there Q1 results. They are also expected to outline there plan for the year ahead.
Maybe a extensive codeshare deal will be announced then. Or maybe IAG are increasing there stake in BE

Well that explains why the new Q400 has not been used much, and why there is talk about others being parked up.
Makes you wonder if the E175's may end up being subject to some deferment too, until the market conditions are better, or maybe they will replace E195's, rather than Q400's, to improve headline load factor and yield numbers.
They must be sweating on that unhedged fuel position for the second half of the 11/12 financial year too.
Still seem well placed to benefit when the economic upswing does eventually come, but until then, it looks like they will have their work cut out to keep the stock markets on-side. Sir Jim needs to pull off one of those much vaunted 'deals' to get a profitable foothold in Europe to re-establish confidence.
Overall, things not looking quite as rosy as they were portrayed at the time of the IPO.
