Saab 2000 is is a mixture of Flybe and Etihad crew. No Eastern crew unless that changes.
Etihad here to stay until end of October.
Eastern is now linked with Flybe, so under the franchise scheme. Flight numbers will now be BE I believe but no rebranding.

Not sure if your referring just to the Swiss Saab when you say there will be no rebranding, but there will be for at least some of the main fleet - see this link from the Eastern thread (for those of a nervous disposition, look away now - it's hideous)

No - I was referring to the main fleet. To what I've heard from various crew of T3, only around 4-5 Eastern aircraft will be rebranded as Flybe for the Scottish routes.
However the venture / franchise is so confusing that it is difficult for some to keep up with, including myself, various crew and no doubt other departments.

The "Etihad" S2000 even more confusing than it appears. The operating airline is Darwin Airline. Etihad has now sold its interest in the airline to Adria, so the airline is to be renamed Adria Airways Switzerland.
I think its an Eastern Airways service, codeshare with flyBe, operated by Darwin Airline in Ethiad colours. But it could be a flyBe device operated by Darwin Airline in Etihad colours, on behalf of Eastern.

Celebrating 10 years flying to Dubai
We're celebrating 10 years of the daily Emirates service to Dubai this month.
Since launch, over 1.8 million passengers have travelled to and from Dubai on the service, a great asset to the North East region.
That was it.

Thomas Cook NCL-CFU was operated by G-TCDH today but then did CFU-BRS, whilst the BRS-CFU flight operated by G-TCDN that landed at the same time did CFU back to NCL. The crew swapped AC on the tarmac in CFU, we were on the CFU-NCL flight.
Why would they swap over aircraft in CFU? Both identical new A321s!

Just seemed odd as both AC had been based at NCL and BRS for some time. I was worried the ground handlers had put the wrong pax on the wrong AC for a moment as the only 2 AC on the ground at CFU were identical TCXs

Keep an eye on G-TCDH i wouldnt be suprised to see it swap again and go to MAN as soon as the chance comes if its needed in the hangar soon. MAN-BRS swaps may arise more often than MAN-NCL so if a aircraft is needed at TCX HQ soon for a checkup it makes more sense to first swap with BRS downroute then onto MAN.

I've tweeted SAS and they replied saying the route was ending for the winter, and I asked if it was coming back seasonally in 2018 and they said yes. Whether that happens or not we shall see next summer. It's a shame the route is ending as it's managed to go a few years now in a time slot which wasn't the best for connections.

Hopefully that clears it up.

A post on the Eastern thread says an AIS Jetstream 31 moves to NCL this weekend and that together with the S2000 will operate the NCL routes. The post gives the operational details.
