Jet 2 and FlyBE
With flyBE looking into new aircraft to replace the old 146's it was mentioned that they were to trial the likes of a 737 and 319/320.
Recently there was a mention that Jet2 were to opperate a 737 doing mail at night then a re-role to carry FlyBE pax during the day as part of the longer europe trips from Exeter or Southampton.
This would make perfect sense before diving in and going for a new type, which makes me think that its a load of rubbish.
Can anyoune shed any light on this or is it the typical FlyBE bull.

I'm told that, until June 2004, the Exeter Channel Express Boeing 737 mail flight will be operated by a Lockheed Electra (posibly Air Atlantique). If Flybe are to use the EXS B733 for daytime services - what price on scheduled passenger Electra flights for a few months prior to the 733's introduction?

2 Come on really I know FlyBe's pax are used to turboprops in the form of the very nice Q400 but I think they might scream and run away at the prospects of a passenger electra op.
