Aer Lingus Regional
, a friend in Dublin has said Aer Arann are actively pursuing a replacement, so it would seem they believe it will be a W/O.

Any cabin crew fancy living on the Essex Riviera...?

How long does it take to hire flight deck + cabin crew, train them up and get them in a state ready to operate flights ? I'm guessing from initial job adverts through interviewing and training we're talking at least a few months. I assume there will also be a lead time between flights going on sale and operating of at least 3 months to allow for effective promotion
When therefore could RE really launch a Southend base ?
Is the start of high summer possible or is September more realistic ?
Am wondering if Aer Arann have left things a bit late to catch summer 2014 demand and are thus going to see a somewhat mediocre commercial result for 2014

I don't know exactly what this involves, but the contracts begin at the end of March/beginning of April so do we assume that this is when training begins, or when operations begin? Surely they wouldn't need that much training?

Aer Arann only take on Cabin Crew with previous experience so the induction is quite short 3-6 weeks depending on experience, as for Flight Deck crews there is a famous holding pool in which applicants can get a TR then wait to be called, that final prep could be between 1-2 months, so a early May/June launch is quite plausible.
However, I really don't get the need to create a new brand for this airline, and its obvious EI won't be giving there brand to these selection of routes, I don't see why Aer Arann just use the aircraft for further home-growth - Maybe they have a good business case, or maybe this is just Stobart Group commandeering these plans, who knows. I think the later if I'm honest.

Yes probably would be BHD. Edinburgh could work too with an ATR equipment. It would seem that Munster/Osnabruck is also highly likely if information at their end is anything to go by. As for others I don't know.

Antwerp and Rotterdam would be a bit daft given the frequency both are served from LCY down the road. Unless of course they know something about CityJet's future that we don't.
Barling - most of your suggested destinations sound quite plausible. However:
Antwerp + Rotterdam - is there room for Southend, when Cityjet have ample capacity at LCY ? Yes, Cityjet are struggling, but would Aer Arann want to take on Cityjet on one of their prime routes ?
Frankfurt - are Aer Arann doing some sort of codeshare with Lufthansa ? With BA and Lufthansa already slugging it out over this route at LCY, Aer Arann without a codeshare would really be picking a big fight
IMHO, I think Aer Arann might do better looking at other places outside the UK that have been suggested on this and the Southend threads which are currently not linked to London, are to the east of the Greenwich meridian, not too far south and are far from airports with a London connection. Assuming local market research shows there is sufficient demand and the relevant airport operators will do a good deal on airport fees for the first year, Dijon, Esbjerg, Gronningen, Kristiansand and Maastricht (or Liege) come to mind.
EDIT - have figured out who posted the list of possible destinations from Southend - it's sxflyer who deserves the credit (I'm just a plagiarist who can recognise a good idea in comparison !)

Does this discussion perhaps deserve a new thread of its own?
It isn't really about Aer Lingus Regional anymore, but an entirely new Aer Arann initiative as I see it.
