Its a bit different flying in from Gran Canaria empty than carrying 120 pax in the opposite direction!

Has Flybe got a spare 195 around for the summer then or has it been taken out of the Southampton schedule if that is where it might to be comming from
Palmair has a full summer schedule so i cant see it keep going back to Southampton for the odd flight ?

Still believe it will be Jet 2 or similar equipment

flybe 195

MARKEYD

The spare flybe 195 resides at bhx and covers for any of the fleet.
Even with the half-term holiday this week it was sat locked up on
the 20's on Saturday afternoon whilst the two operational ones at BHX
were on Ski charters.

The plan was that it would be spare during summer as well, if this
is still the plan I do not know.

A very reliable source has told me that you may well see a different aircraft operating from April and it is unlikely to be one that struggles on the longer routes.

Out of interest, how much is a deal like the one with Jet2 or Flybe likely to cost Palmair? There are plenty of used 737's available on the market in addition to an unhealthy number of umemployed rated pilots. Palmair already have their own cabin crew and already have ground crew contracted, therefore, Palmair operating a single airframe its self must be similar in cost to contracting a third party operator for several years.

Except they would have to go through all the hoops to get an AOC (which can take quite a time) and that is not something that Bath Travel probably want to be bothered with.

There is no room at BOH for an airline like Palmair. The old people who are the only ones who use them in any number are in finite and dwindling supply (thats the politest way of saying it) and thus their business will also dwindle and die off eventually. Its all about survival of the fittest.

They have run away from BOH-Spain routes quicker than we can say ''show us your wrinkly nipples'' when we started MJV, ALC and AGP...

Same will happen on FAO, PMI, TFS eventually

Funny, I thought statistics show that the proportion of the UK population that could be called "elderly" is increasing all the time. Still, Ryanair never let the facts get in the way of their propaganda do they?

But old people never run out and I bet you they will retire to BOH long after RYR have given up on it.

The problem is your vision of a perfect world dominated by few companies is a boring one run by boring people , and you too will eventually meet your Waterloo - and whats left then? Remember the great days of the British car industry and look at it now - its a bit like the Irish car industry - non existant!

I'll say this for you - at least you stirred some action on a thread that had dried up, and tho' I'm a fisherman I don't usually rise to the bait - however I'm astonished at your (personal) view of your elderly clients in BOH area - and the South generally - perhaps you should go "public" -and dont forget you may grow old one day

tend to agree with your 1st sentence johnanddot22

hmm. Palmair and the future...

Such an oxymoron.

Maybe the future for them means operating from SEN, BLK and Brighton City (Shoreham?) - God's own waiting rooms.

BOH is becoming very quickly less and less popular with older folk - but one thing is for sure. Older folks have more dosh. We love them - don't get me wrong; hence my desire for Palmair to roll over and die already

in the politest possible sense - of course.

I don't necessarily agree with your sentiments but I appreciate your honesty. Would love to hear your comments on my first topics i.e. Viking and ? maybe Globespan?
