In most professional industries, blatantly lying to your customers would be frowned upon and would arouse the interest of the relevant regulator. But to avoid their EU261 obligations, some airlines appear to lie as their SOP without fear of penalty or reprisal.

Why does Flybe need to charter in from WDL ? Shortage of aircraft doesn't sound like a particularly good reason - I suspect some deeper reason is behind this

Brace yourself for wrong airport jokes !!
​​​​​​
anyway I think they are preparing for another exodus of crew to avoid bad PR again over canceled flights.

They're also taking an ERJ from LM based in GLA too by the looks of things.

I don't know, but since both the leases are wet leases, then crewing issues may to the fore.

I'm surprised that they haven't wet leased from Stobart Air? Or are their aircraft tied up?

Probably to do with getting rid of the costs of an outlier station like Dusseldorf.

I've flown WDL several times when I used to live close to CGN on private charter flights and I'm now flying with them from LCY to DUS tomorrow evening and back again on Sunday afternoon. I am a bit peeved that Flybe haven't had the courtesy to let me know that they have subbed out the flight.

My mum has a BHD-GLA booking that's been subbed to Loganair and got an email letting her know.

No, an email, which I did get. First flight in a Loganair jet for me, and after the 146 I never thought I'd be saying that!

Since when is DSA not an operating base?

I flew between AGP and DSA back in June and the aircraft was delayed after allegedly being struck by an airbridge in CDG the day before. They're using this as an excuse not to pay out despite the flight being scheduled over 24 hours after this incident. Frustrating to say the least.
Bostonair has a base there to support flybe operations this is 100% as I audited them on behalf of Flybe last year, chancers.

Easyjet joining BHX - GLA

Easyjet to join Flybe on what is quite a big route for the incumbent between BHX & GLA. Didn't see that coming...
