It's nice to hear that Birmingham City FC are sponsoring FlyBe!!!!!
The way competition is hotting up on FlyBe's routes, and given the fact that they are using the entirely wrong equipment to compete with these guys, will mean that they will shortly need all the financial help they can get. sic. ........
Anyone expect a scramble for some old 737's shortly........?

Tatty Head:
Do you have a source for the information on FlyBE's profitability and BHD-BHX plans that you referred to? I looked on their website but can't find any reference to this.
Thanks!
Should have been VILLA

Doubling the BHD-BHX schedule? Sunny Jim never learns does he?
Reinstating Business class would have been more appropriate. Clearly Mytravel lite are not pitching at the business market with only 2 flights per day originating in BHX. If anything it sounds more like a feed to their other lowcost routes.

Best Western. Don't knock it. BE have a very good commercial department and know how to make money. Besides that, who wants to fly to Aldergrove?

Hudson,
Not only are Fly Be. com.bollox, squandering there dosh on Girlie Football Teams, they are also squandering it on our Girlies( and some guys) in the priceless form of Flybe.whatever... BASEBALL CAPS !
Not sure its the right colour though (Grey......after ????)
Anyway thought it might have been BLUE... in keeping with the Football team of course; then again perhaps Brown would have been more appropriate, Northern Exposure...............an all !;) ;) ;)
So ! Still No Sign Of a Payrise Then ? :eek: :eek:

Just wait for the MyTravel - Aston Villa tie-up. ;)
And with the Villa team having a definite 'no-frills' feel to it thanks to the annual summer exodus, a 'MyAstonVilla lite' rebranding could be very appropriate. :(
