Re the figures. If they aren't correct why were they submitted and secondly if they're not correct where are the official figures? All seems a little odd.
Its easy to think certain routes are doing very well and all is good. However Ive counted Pax off one of their leased ATRs, less than 20. Also keep in mind the leased in 170/175 will have a higher number of seats that would also help to lower the % number. Both the ATR and Embraer whilst not Flybe's are operating under the Flybe AOC so will still have their figures reported by Flybe. |

Ok I am senior data analyst with two decades working in P&L reporting and marketing analytics in SQL, SAS and Python, I am regularly asked to provide insight at C Suite level, I have also more than a few years working with travel industry clients, numbers and predictive models are my daily bread. Now if you can stop swearing like a wee boy in the playground for a minute, why don't you share your creds? When you say you've been in the industry for ten years, going by your utter lack of professionalsm, it's safe to say you're employed cleaning the bogs? There's no way you'd be trusted down the pointy end IMHO. This isn't personal, it's a fair commentary on the impact of flybe coming back from bankruptcy on others who managed to keep going.

Good points. Those who resort to scurrilous attacks only prove that they have already lost the argument. By using the language of the gutter they demonstrate an inability to reason cogently. Isn't this is meant to be a forum for professional people?

Maybe do us a favour and take a longer break from the forums and leave the rest of us to discuss things professionally. |
There are a couple of contributors on here who I hope I never have to share a flight deck with, and I pity those who do. Your interpersonal and conflict resolution skills are appalling, I would hate to be in a high pressure situation with you. 10 years in the industry? Oh sweet summer child. I've been on the planet over forty years but I still bite the inside of my cheek from time to time; time served does not equate to expertise. Let me guess - two years flying training followed by six years as a know-all FO before Covid hit? Hardly Michael O'Leary.

You've never heard of fixed price fuel agreements then..
However, any fuel hedging Flybe1 had disappeared when they did. Bearing in mind the fuel price when Flybe2 started was way higher than when Flybe1 went LBU then the hedged price is undoubtedly higher. Makes a profitable load factor of 38% a pipe dream. |

Just a reminder that this forum isn't just for pilots it does allow other people within the industry to come on as well. What you might not be aware of is the users I have highlighted have many a times said stuff which was either incorrect, untrue or otherwise. They refuse to listen to anyone (not just myself but many others). They will then carry out personal and/or mocking attacks on those people to prove superior. I find it laughable that because I've touched a nerve I'm getting all the flack here. For one I wish the moderators would actually be a little stricter and stop a lot of the nonsense that seems to regurgitate on these forums. Whether it's Air Southwest, Flybe far too many people who it's fairly obvious don't have real world industry experience commenting on stuff. Which if you look on my profile posts you will see I never comment about British Airways, TUI, Qantas etc because I've never worked for them and it wouldn't be right for me to say anything.
You are all welcome to keep replying with nasty messages. All I will say it is a reflection more on your own character than on me. All the best :) |
About time that people grew up and put their big boy pants on. Can we get back to the thread topic...that's Flybe-V2 in case anyone has forgotten.
Some new routes in the pipeline apparently...possible announcement tomorrow.... |
Newquay is now showing in the list of destinations.
|
Apparently replacing LBA on the Heathrow remedy slots for this winter, with NQY-MAN to appear as well. Quite a few more bits to come as well from what I'm told, although I can't substantiate it so won't post just yet. None of it likely to achieve any other outcome than huge losses.

All depends on the yield at the end of the day...the market is certainly there on NQY which can't be said of LBA...... |

Maybe so but assuming they are looking for better options than LBA to retain the slots you would have to think that there's a smaller loss on NQY than there would be on LBA. MANNQY is significantly underserved so I don't see that being a "huge loss".

NQY-MAN with easyJet and Loganair both on it "underserved"? Interesting notion. easyJet are summer-only and the old Flybe service was supported with their own hub connections at MAN - none of which they have today. Jury out on that one.
And NQY-LHR will be up against an operation at LGW which is both subsidised and free of APD. Maybe during the peak summer, but during the winter may well prove to be a different ballgame. |
BHX to ABZ & BHX to SOU now in the destinations drop down ?
|
Goes to show what a farce these remedy slots are. Don’t forget they were intended to enable competition on routes where it was reduced by BA’s purchase of BMA (or BMI if you must). Originally they were used by Virgin (Little Red) who at least used them for their intended purpose. Now they’re just being pimped around by Flybe in what, IMHO, always was and always will be a slot scam.
