Flybe - 8
So at a time when Ryanair is attributing part of its impressive profit improvement to getting flights on sale earlier, Flybe decide that the opposite strategy is a good idea... Or more likely, are so busy fire fighting that they just haven't had time to do it yet.

Does anyone know if there are any differences in the cabin as someone told me these were the next gen models?
195's
I notice today that there have been 5 195's flying - 2 ex-SOU (Sunshine routes), 1 ex-EXT (Sunshine routes), 1 ex-BHX (CDG) and 1 ex-CWL (to EDI, JER, then CDG and DUB, with a large period of downtime between the first 2 and last 2 return trips).
The 1 CWL-based machine positioned down from MAN last night.
Is 5 the max. that is going to be operated, or is there another 1 to be activated when the 2nd at CWL is needed?

On a similar note, according to the BE seat selector a few of the routes ex CWL seem well loaded given the relatively short lead time on seat sales. Hopefully this continues !

CWL Fleet
Flybe’s new base at Cardiff Airport opens officially today (1 June 2015) with passengers boarding inaugural flights to Edinburgh, Paris and Dublin as part of an extended 12 route network that also includes new routes to Cork, Faro, Glasgow, Munich, and Milan.
As part of its new two aircraft base, Europe’s largest regional airline will also improve frequency and capacity on existing routes to Belfast City, Dusseldorf, Jersey and on its 2015-16 Winter flights to Geneva. The first of two 118-seat Embraer 195 aircraft jets into Cardiff today to begin operations, while the second will follow on 1 September 2015. The 10- year agreement between Flybe and Cardiff Airport brings half a million extra seats for sale each year and has created 50 new jobs, including flight crew

The a/c did look to be about 1hr delayed departing to CDG yesterday (despite over 3 hrs sat at CWL beforehand), with this delay also affecting the following DUB rotation.

I would also like to know about the Republic aircraft... I'm hoping they still have the first class, I would have thought that it would make sense for them to offer first class service from London City but I doubt they will

Cardiff
10 year deal with Cardiff airport? Are they mad? Seriously, has this management heard about something called research? It would have taken one minion no more than an hour alone with Google to work out these airports are not only dead losses but send your airline to the wall. Madness
Time for a reality check me thinks!
