The administration of FBE realisations is extended until 2024. Part of the deal for the sale was that new Flybe would make further contributions to EY depending on profitability
We will never know the potential amounts to be paid because' understandably that is confidential. It's all out in the public domain for pitys sake

Hear hear and thank you. I knew that but did not post because i am rapidly losing patience with this argument. For however long it lasts it's brought much needed employment to people.
Old Fltbee was a basket case into which Cyrus Stobart and Virgin pumped £100,000,000 and still mega millions would have been needed to save it

"There’s no question that the ATR is more economical but it’s also slower and at a curfewed airport like BHD that makes a difference. "

Really ?

Because you can do perfectly legal things which are in many people's views, unethical. For many people, the dishonesty of having it both ways is wrong. Being a "well loved brand returning" and a "whole new airline with no connection to the old"' is bending credulity so far as to break. I find the whole thing dishonest, they consciously chose this path, there were less controversial options. I mean no one really believes Glasgow Rangers FC dates from 2012 although that's the legal position 😉 If flybe2 succeed, the "whole new business" thing will be airbrushed away, however legally accurate it may be.

We're not gonna agree on this, an we're entitled to challenge questionable fanboy assertions. Let's see how they do.

Completely agree, you’ve had the final word so lets park it there 👍
Nothing more needs to said on the subject.

As far as I can see, both Emerald and Flybe are planning four rotations a day on their Belfast-based aircraft (ATRs and Q4s). If flying short routes like Glasgow, both could probably go to five but look to have the common sense with all of the trouble out there on airports and ground handlers not to do so right now!

Apart from some false sense of confidence that pitching a Q4 against a jet on BHD-LHR is a good idea - which I don't think anyone with an ATR would - then I can't see any difference beyond the fact the Q4 is a lot heavier, burns more fuel and only carries six more passengers (if full - which I doubt anyone will be with competition on most routes).

To be fair Flybe have had as many as 7x daily rotations on BHX and MAN in the past and 5x daily 146 flights. Whilst business travel isn't what it was there's an explosion in leisure demand now and U2 have ramped up their offering from BFS with the lack of competition from when Flybe went bust - I'm sure they'll retreat back to some degree, they won't burn cash forever fighting for business.

It's hard to believe this new airline nonsense as it is more or less same crew same management same almost everything. There is just not enough difference for people to believe it is something new or even improved. Back to charging for bags at the gate. But Feddie Laker pulled the same stunt and relaunched Laker but based in US when relaunched

it is not the same management

and look how that ended

There is one or two thats the same management.

But irrelevant of that, it is the same business model. But smaller and in more challenging times.

I do wish it to succeed but the odds are against it.

Good god this thread is both tedious and depressing!

Good god your statement is tedious and depressing.

.

Indeed. So, so tedious

Tedious, repetative and often nonsensicle

Maybe there should be a separate thread for people to argue about FlyBe 1 v Flybe 2 and the rest of us can discuss the here and now.

Good suggestion.

I try to fly as little as possible and we would normally take the train from Birmingham to Berlin, however, Eurostar is sold out for the convenient Saturday morning connection to Cologne via Brussels (May half-term weekend) so we're going to fly to Amsterdam and take the train from there. I found the Flybe website very easy to use and the prices were good. Decent flight times too

That's the Flybe v1 thread.

Can those people go there.

Is there really a need for such language as idiots and shut up. It’s just a discussion on a forum. Let’s try to keep it civil. If people go on about something you don’t like ignore it and the conversation dies or moves on.

As for most experienced pilots etc meaning they take it seriously almost any carrier would do that and does do that. BA have a select group of crew just for media flights etc. Did anyone have such low expectations of Flybe2 that they expected something different?

However it’s great to see things seem to have gone smoothly so far given the bad coverage other carriers have had in recent days it should certainly help them further.
