Flybe Bye Be !

I have no sympathy - barstewards had a stencil lugage holder - my purpose bought 'small carry on suitcase' that fits onto every other plane on the planet wouldnt fit into their test holder - so they charged £50 extra every time. When i say it wouldnt fit, it was about the width of a hair too big.

It was a mass produced item and they obviously made their stencil smaller by a few mm in purpose just to fine people. (I caught on quickly but i seen hundreds of people getting fined - alot were students who hadnt got the £50 to pay - i was travelling with business so the fine didnt matter).

I am a frequent flyer (25 - 35 flights a year) and they were the biggest shower of cantankerous fukers out there.

Rant over.

Gone now so next lot now to deal with?
Loganair ,but if tried to book with these a while back showed flybee flights???
 
I noticed a Flybe flight on Flightradar this morning, heading to Southampton from the Channel Islands. I'm guessing it is just a repositioning flight to get the aircraft home rather than a passenger flight? It must be very serious for isolated corners and I wondered if there were strategic plans to keep things going until a new carrier is found.

I'm sure someone will take up the routes if they think they are economic to fly.

Would've been a flight to get the aircraft home. Aurigny and Blue Islands have put on rescue flights to get FlyBe customers home for £50.
