Come on Geo, read the post before arguing back will you. I said it was a disagreement between the States and BE - I didnt say it was the States fault did I. However I do recall something coming up about the apron and this being an issue for the Embraer - cant remember the details though or whether indeed this was accurate.

Cloud1, there has never been a disagreement between the States and BE regarding the 175. Flybe are clear to restart jet operations whenever they wish in GCI.

Cloud1, all I am trying to point out to you is that there is no disagreement between Flybe and the States of Guernsey regarding the E175, they could start using it tomorrow if they so wished.

Why are Be putting the E75 on the DUS-BHX/MAN routes first? These are not the longest of routes in the network. Is it because they need the additional ten seats as there is more demand than the Q400 can handle or is it because Lufthansa is giving the BE prop operation on those routes a run for their money with the CR9 jets?

DUS

flybe are up against jets on BHX-DUS and MAN - DUS and despite the low load factors the BHX service is alleged to be more than profitable although I don't have no evidence to back that up with.
You would think BHX-MXP and BHX-STR would be the first to get the 175 due to the range especially the former but look at the current competition on those routes.......yes none and I assume that is the reason.
BHX's first 175 is inbound now and I assume it is all go for tomorrow 3 x BHX-DUS-BHX.

Yes back at BHX now on BE852.
I assume that BE849 was the first commercial flight and lets hope for a long
and successful run at flybe? If they are anything like the passengers experience on big brother (195) then it should be a positive addition to the fleet.

I was at Manchester on Friday night and the last departure of the evening was a Flybe to Southampton, but via Leeds Bradford!?
Any idea on the logic of this route, the aircraft must be in the air all of 10 minutes between MAN and LBA!

Makes sense, I've seen them do that with the Liverpool and Manchester to IOM flights before when they've been an aircraft down.
I kinda of assumed that because it was on the departure board as being via LBA that was the route, not a schedule change to cope with a problem if you get what I mean.

Chitty – the idea that airlines cancel/combine flights at short notice just because of low loads is an ‘urban myth’ that crops up from time to time – they don’t, not least because if they did the CAA would get very ‘grumpy’!
Airlines do cancel/combine flights from time to time, but this is for operational reasons such as aircraft being unavailable for technical or weather related problems, or crew unavailability due sickness or going out of hours because of disruption, etc.

175's
Two more delivered today making four per skyliner
The same source has another Q400 leaving the fleet positioning BHX-DUB
yesterday
I assume these two 175's still heading for MAN-DUS and INV-LGW.
Any ideas of when the next few are due and the likely bases?

E175's
I think you'll find that the MAN-DUS will continue on the Q400 for the time being and the E175 will instead operate ABZ-LGW. I assume the MAN-DUS route will get an E175 when the next ones are delivered.
