Flybe have released the retirement plan for the EMB195 fleet and some of the EMB175 as well. All of the larger machines would be gone by S20 and the 175 fleet reduced to around 6 or 7 'frames.
What their intentions are concerning the surplus jet rated crews could give a clue to future plans. I can't see wholesale redundancies and the Q400 fleet couldn't absorb all the spare pilots.
Send them on a conversion course for a new type?

OK lets stick to facts ............
We are very nearly at the 15th of October. A large venue has been hired in Exeter and everyone who is anyone has travelled down there to her the big news.
I'm worried that not all FlyBe people will hear good news hence my previous post wishing them good luck
First glimmers of news will set the tone I think.

Good grief. Customer Service in our DNA, passionate, exciting, driving the company forward.
As opposite to peddling it backwards I guess ?
Same old PR spin. They regurgitate this positive wording rubbish time after time.
And it's not even original. Anybody remember BAcon, a former UK regional carrier ?
Good luck to all involved. I'm just not quite sure sufficient profitable connections are in place to link with the big brand owner.
As opposite to peddling it backwards I guess ?

I'm sensing a lot of buyers remorse of Virgins part here. The glacial pace at which anything is happening tells me that they don't really have any idea as to what they want to do with Flybe.

Virgin's main base is Heathrow where slots are unavailable unless you spend huge quantities of money. Bmi found out 10 years ago that flying anything under about 150 seats doesn't work when slots cost so much. Dash 8s on a large scale just won't work at LHR
That leaves just Manchester which has plenty of people but a fraction of the corporate cash, and is much more focussed on leisure routes (ie business travel for big cash is much rarer). Lots of PR fluff but I'm struggling to see a profitable business plan in this. Anyone able to enlighten me ?
