When you go to the home page and then click FAQ's, you get an option to book flights at the top of the page and this is showing Alderrney in the menu. Not listed in the timetables yet, but looks as though Bournemouth is getting back all it's former routes.

No wonder there is a reduced service. I thought it would be quite nice to pop back to any of the channel islands with a flight from Southampton. They are having a laugh are they not with the prices - either in the short term or well ahead bookings.....heck I can go anywhere in Europe return for the prices quoted..and the channel islands are not that good!

Trislander Fleet Closing
Rumour today that all Trislander pilots have been made redundant from 4th December.
With the Trislander scheduled to do up to 7 inter island rotations a day, that's a lot of capacity going, or something else (another Jetsream?) coming to replace it. But if you were replacing it wouldn't you keep and retrain the crew?
All Trislander flights still on sale through December.
Anybody know what's happening?

Allegedly Blue Islands have listened to their passengers; they have said that they don't want to fly on Tris and therefore BI are selling them off and consequently the crews have been given notice.
It goes on to say that these passengers also don't like single crew on Tris as their competitors practice.
A few months ago the ground crew were told they were to embark on a new adventure or some similar romantic imagery; aka given the boot.
It's all part of the MD's idiom.

Blue took on 2/3 new Tri crew in the last month, it looks as tho they have been thrown on the scrap heap already. The MD certainly knows how to mess with peoples lives, not that he gives a thought to them. Personally I think the reason that Blue have ditched the Tris, are a) the fall in inter island pax due to many pax switching to Gr & b) the continual tech problems with the aircraft. I also believe that one Capt. recently resigned on the spot because he was so fed up with all the continual snags. Also heard today that Blue maybe ditching GCI-SOU, can anyone confirm or deny this?

They've ditched everything else that doesn't originate in Jersey, so GCI-SOU going would just be the last in a long line of Guernsey services dumped. Seems quite logical on that basis. Good news for flybe.

I heard a rumour that the contract with the GCI handling agent had been renegotiated down from 12 months to 6, if true this would mean that the contract would end Dec 31. This in turn could/would also signal the end of all GCI services....
