This has been in the planning for a while and the poor staff have paid for it with their jobs. Let’s hope they all get new jobs as fast as humanly possible. Really poor from the owners. Good luck all. |
Back on topic. DHL still recruiting, possibly for EMA. |
This thread is about Flybmi closing down. Climate change arguments belong elsewhere. |

Not sure Loganair have the aircraft to just pick the routes up, hopefully it will mean they will take some of Flybmi’s aircraft crews and engineers. The fact they operate the Embraer should make it fairly straightforward to achieve this. |
Rumour has it that the ERJ positioned back into Norwich and they had already started the repaint to Logan air colours before midnight, Logan air parent company also owned flybmi.
Likewise two senior flybmi ABZ based trainers started their employment with Logan Air the very next day. Regional flying is no longer viable in most of the UK, a combination of high APD which they catch on both legs, what demand there is in early and late in the day, meaning two lots of crews doing at best 2 or 3 sectors a day, something that pushes up the cost to amongst the highest in the industry in this country at least. Sure there is money to be made flying between the likes of EDI LGW/LHR but not on a 50 seater. |
A spokesperson for Loganair said: ‘Loganair and Flybmi, which has unfortunately ceased trading, are two completely separate companies with different booking systems. Due to strict rules around data protection, Loganair is unable to access Flybmi’s passenger details or payment information.’
Yet they managed to speak to and recruit the very next day??? I wonder how they got contact details of staff 🤔🤔🤔🤔 |

Not sure why so much negativity on Loganair here. They were always due to receive one more of each so it could have been one of those. Additionally it’s my understanding that bmi regional leased the aircraft from the parent (as they received cash for them years ago) so AIL is now simply leasing them to Loganair - nothing funny going on there. Given they are in the same group I’m happy that it got moving so quickly, wouldn’t want the employees to be left in limbo while waiting for the legals. i say smart move re staffing, why not? You can find a lot of people on LinkedIn and by lifting the phone, no need to be accessing HR records... Suggesting the Loganair directors knew that bmi regional was trading insolvently is quite serious and I highly doubt that to be the case. As far as I can see they are run as autonomous businesses. Much like Dorothy Perkins and Topshop in Arcadia and Iberia and BA in IAG. |
People see conspiracies everywhere. It's really quite tiring! :zzz:

BMI was a small airline, it didn't take long for word to pass round that Loganair were willing to take people on...

It was my interpretation of your post actually. I read it as a rhetorical question over Loganair's procurement of staff details. Apologies if I misunderstood. Apologies accepted. 😉 |

"middle of nowhere" might be nice.
Think and go back to our young dreams of being a pilot. |
That has to be the cheapest brand name change ever - they couldnt even be bothered to match the blue paint colour.... maybe even just two pieces of blue vinyl from a hardware shop..... and " Scotlands Airline" , with the union flag still on the tail ?????

I can hear a pilot talking.. Whom knows sod all about ATA 11. Rebranding airframes costs a small fortune. Bigger than your ego. |
