Flybe Winter 2019/20

The Flybe winter schedule is expected to be released tomorrow (3rd April). I'm expecting to see big changes and not the good kind either...

78 seats on a Dash and 88 on 175 is not going to make much difference and it is more the way these routes are financed which dictate where the 175 jets go if you catch my drift. I was going to do a fare comparison but came unstuck as I couldn't get any MAN-NQY fares up for several weeks (May on flybe) - I assume a glitch as the service operated today?

Breaking news. There will be no winter schedule from DSA or CWL as both bases to close. EXT Ejet operations to stop too, all at the end of this summer season.

Good luck to all the great crews potentially affected by this awful news.

What on earth is going on, operational issues impacting so many flights, bizarre. Is this a shortage of crew, sickness? Does anybody know the specifics...

Yes, alot of crew woke up this morning to the news that their base is closing and cabin crew are up for redundancy. Would you be fit to operate having opened your inbox this morning to read this?

None of the Flybe winter schedules are on sale yet for the Winter? Also not seen anything which says DSA and CWL closing for winter. Dangerous gossip if not facts!

Is there any summary of where the cancellations are?
Given that CWL is rumoured to be closing theres only one cancellation this evening to VRN.

Edit: looks like it's true!

I too read the BBC story earlier this morning. A quick check at 07:58 shows there are 26 Flybe flights in the air at this time. At the same time yesterday, there were 23 in the air, so not much seems to have changed.

Not good for Cardiff. 14 out of their 24 daily departures at risk. not good at Doncaster either with half the scheduled departures flown by Flybe.

And are part of project Blackbird, which funds the flights. Surely the routes cant be performing that bad that they are still unprofitable with the funding?
BEs prices vs other operators out of BRS and CWL weren't always cheaper, and various routes like DUB, EDI and CDG have grown to decent frequencies with good LFs

I posted yesterday that there would be a cull and was shouted down.
I fear these routes will be lost forever from DSA as there just aren't any interested operators there to pick them up.

I think Loganair would pick up a lot of the slack.
