Flybe 737s

[LVL CHG]

I read that Flybe will be getting 737-300s soon (possibly up to 7?) and flying them out of Birmingham to Palma, Alicante, Murcia, Malaga and other sunny destinations.

Has anyone heard any other details on possible delivery dates, etc.? This is great news for the Flybe pilots out there tired of the Quad-Jet... Probably picking up some of the older GO jets.

Any additional details would be appreciated...

LVL CHG - Flybe are getting 2x737-300 series which are on a damp lease for eveluation purposes, that means that the leasing company supply the a/c and pilot's and we supply the cabin crew.
They are due to enter service in March 2005 and will be based in BHX.

I have heard that Astraeus are very likely to get the wet lease, but as always things can change so will have to wait and see.
