Indeed we do BHDflyer.. :) I just hope they dont hold it against me lol.:ok:

hello olton!!
Thank your for the info. Although ZB included MJV in their winter schedule I do not believe this would affect BE in a great measure. I had checked loads and some flights in nov had 60 or 70 pax booked. Anyway I must say I am really dissapointed with BE anyway, as they seemd to be really interested in MJV when they hardly had slots for ALC.Now that they have got them, they seemed to be pulling us aside as a starter when the main course arrives.
Anyway, last summer VZ used to have daily service and BE 5 times a week and both airlines had really good loads.
Do you think BE will resume the route in summer?

I have not heard if it is to return next March but Monarch go daily from
25/3/07 with I assume a 321, which might affect flybe's decision.

The Monarch is only a 320 in the winter (the last I heard) & it will probably
end up with not enough seats available or at least in November,
Christmas and February.

Yes flybe are major disappointment at BHX at the moment with
Bergerac suspended from the end of October until the second
week in March, Faro & Murcia gone as well and Toulouse reduced to four a week after originally being scheduled for six

Hopefully it is only a winter suspension.

I think that maybe we need to look at the reasons for such changes.

Flybe appear to be doing very well at the moment and are expanding profitably but have grown massively in the past couple of years. Maybe they are using this winter as a means of steadying the growth.

With a planned floatation on the cards for next year the last thing that they want is to devalue the business with a bad winter of losses. My guess is that they are just sitting back and taking stock to see what develops and as a result they are not taking any chances.

They do this every year to accomodate the Ski Charters to Geneva, Chambrey, Innsbruck and Sion.:}

195 heading back to Exeter
 

Just heard the 195 heading back to Exeter; was down to 2,000', then heard climbing to 160; minor hydraulic problem. In the immortal words of Capt. B, "I think the phase rhymes with Clucking Bell". :{ :( :*

Any chance of it coming back to Jersey soon? Unfortunately, it was also carrying a part for a 146 which had gone tech here! (A Flybe 146 gone tech - surely not. :E )

:{ :{ :{

Seen the EMB195 at BHD, quite nice kit from the my view point. Did notice the name given to it "Wings Of The Community"

Ack how lovely, maybe the next one they could rename...

"Wings On-Time!" :D :}


Regards:ok:

I waited at the airport eagerly for an hour today to see the Embraer. Was really disappointed when the pilot comes across on Jersey Approach and says that they're going back to Exeter :sad:

Really hope that Jersey will see it again soon. I'm over in Exeter next week so it'll be just the excuse I need to visit the airport :ok:

EMB195 to Jersey
 

Akersoid

This aircraft was not carring the spares for a dead Bae146 the spare past was comming from Brumm on the afternoon flight.

We will see the Emb195 within the next week when they can reschedule the current plan of destinations plan to go to so watch this space.

The sooner they get this aircraft opperating for them the better, this will release some of the other aircraft in the fleet , they have had a very bad week down in Jersey with all sorts crewing due late arrival of tech aircraft from the night before

I understand the airport at Jersey was open till the very early hours this morning after the afternoon tech delay.

The company when they have a tech problem will not bring in another opperator to do the service and keep airport open very late.

Will the EMB195 be any better seviability wise than the problems they have had in the past??

With all the tech problem delays joe public will find another carrier and pay a bit more to get to and from where they are going.

These major delays will not help with the pending float on the stock market??

Which operator should flybe employ (with loads in the mid 70's on some flights)?

Will the EMB195 be any better seviceability wise than the problems they have had in the past??

How long is a piece of string?
Yet another general "flybe" seviceability jibe - any seviceability figures to back this up?

These major delays will not help with the pending float on the stock market??

Is that piece of string back??

:confused: :confused:

i just hope this "Jungle Jet doesn't have to many problems like the other aircraft

Norwich airport had 90,000 passengers through it's terminal in August increase of 42% so Flybe must of carried about 70,000 passengers in August from NWI

Emb 195
 

Currently sitting in BHX ready for BE816 to Glasgow tomorrow morning
I believe.

I apologise if this has been asked/answered before but is this the first
ever revenue earning/schedule flight for the 195 or has it been on
Exeter routes the last couple of days?

Pete

On another thread it has been posted that Flybe have applied for slots
at AMS for for three SEN - AMS daily services.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

In answer to your question Olton pete - it will be the first revenue flight with pax's on - BUT NOT it's first flight with paxs on, this was done yesterday 20th Sept out of Exeter to Belfast City and back for it's CAA approval flight.
Flight had 70 member's of staff on board to act as passenger's so the CAA could see it operating a reprensitive route with paxs on board.

Thanks for your reply and good luck to all concerned with the 195.

I might just time my drive to work tomorrow morning to catch a glimpse.

FlyBe Summer 2007
 

They are last in the que now for Summer 2007 (from BHX) With BMI opening up today and Monarch having been open for sometime I am loosing patience waiting to book my summer trips to ALC. The BMI release isnt particularly cheap - even on opening day compared with some of my FlyBe flights this year - but I am nervous that FlyBe wont come in any cheaper even if I wait.
The customer service lady said it was "usually November" before they release - strange when you consider the early movement of the others.

Another point - I really miss the Friday 15:15 slot to ALC and the return on Sunday night. Had to use BMI for the Winter !

New Route: Southampton to Galway.... from December, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Fares from GBP29.99

195
 

Just arrived back 10 early from BHD on its 6th sector :ok:, fingers crossed
for today's final two.

Just caught the first outbound this morning on the way to work, as it departed 15 with a left turn over the A45 at Meriden. Quite impressed at the look of the aircraft even if it was fairly high up at the time.

I tried to time my departure to get underneath it as it went over
the lights at the 33 end to have a listen to the noise. However
I was a bit early but never mind.

Channel Islands to Paris
 

Has any one heard if Flybe has been succesful in getting both Jersey and Guernsey to help the funding of a new service to Paris.:ok: :ok:

It was annouced a month or so ago, that Guernsey would help with funding for the service but today was the day when they would find out if Jersey would do the same.

Both Islands would have to support Flybe to make this route work and would not do the service if only one Island was behind the venture.:sad: :sad:

The Channel Islands needs to come into the twenty first century before the world over take them.::ugh: :ugh:
