Flybe

I feel a good biz plan for flybe would be to have 3 uk bases, belfast, birmingham and leeds. Belfast as quickest way to NI is by air, BHX as its a central location with high population and LBA, we all know why lba would be a good choice, high population, finance center, less competition etc etc stick to those 3 airports to start with using 3 aircraft or so at each base with 1 spare located at one of the bases that can easily be flown out if required.
This current flybe way of thinking is gonna end in a bad way. My plan gets those firm roots established in the ground first, then branch out!
 
The new Flybe’s operations from LBA have been far from an unmitigated success. I cannot see how making a base there would help. Their business model is all over the place, trying to find a niche which does not exist at the airports they are focusing on. Some code shares feeding long haul operators flying out of e.g. LHR or MAN might help but it is not in itself a solution.
 
I just wonder after all the experience of Flybe 1 they opted for the dash when they had previously operated ATR & Dash 8, perhaps it was a very good price or mayb no alternative available ..?

The reason the flybe routes from leeds have been pretty poor so far is because half the flights have been cancelled! Who on earth would fly with them when there is a 50/50 chance you might not get there!! With good marketing (which lets face it has been non existent) and a reliable service im sure it would be a success, plus a larger presence at an airport ( a base) would tend to attract more attention, jet2 is an example.
 
It must be costing them a fortune in compensation as well as impacting on their reputation. Does anyone know if they are re-booking pax on the Aer Lingus flights (as I believe they have a legal obligation to do)?

It's just changed to three cancellations out of seven flights scheduled today with tonights Glasgow gone along with this mornings Belfast and Edinburgh, yesterday it was Belfast and Glasgow. Newcastle is experiencing a lot of cancellations also so they are not just picking on LBA they are spreading the chaos - around how kind of them.
 
Even I have struggled to come up with a new acronym or apt name for this airline. But what I will say is that the previously used Flymaybe isnt even coming close at the moment. They really are an absolute mess

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
