r1man Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Fancy EM going pop! Even more surprising (but incredibly generous) is Flybe stepping in. And here was me thinking airlines didn't have a heart. If you didn't know better, you might think a deal had been done somewhere along the line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD4ELI Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hope those who work for them will find employment quickly. I'm sure they will - there's usually a rapid turnover of staff. So - FlyBe for the first time next time I visit the rock, hey-ho. It really is becoming a major hassle to come over these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD4ELI Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 There are 12 of us who have booked flights to Manchester at Christmas. Hmm, we'll see. One hopes that Madam paid with her VISA card so that she's covered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bob Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Those christmas bookings will be honoured by Flybe so they say. Good on them for filling the breach, at least we now know where we stand and people can make informed decisions. Good luck to those who have lost their jobs.

inspector Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Captain Bob, Any news on whether the staff knew what was happening or were they kept in the dark? I'm assuming that you might have some good knowledge of the situation....based on your previous posts of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ai_Droid Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Those christmas bookings will be honoured by Flybe so they say. Unless it's City, from the way I read their release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD4ELI Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Those christmas bookings will be honoured by Flybe so they say. Unless it's City, from the way I read their release. I think City tickets are being used for Luton or Stanstead. I travelled EuroManx < 2 weeks ago to get home to Switzerland - a close call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 and if you ring the Flybe number the call girls have no idea and ask you to ring back, not their fault but a bad start I am due to City on Sunday back Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 There are 12 of us who have booked flights to Manchester at Christmas. Hmm, we'll see. One hopes that Madam paid with her VISA card so that she's covered? No, Madam did not, but the booking is for three families so not all mine. Hopefully, as Captain Bob mentioned, Flybe will convey us at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Captain Bob, Any news on whether the staff knew what was happening or were they kept in the dark? I'm assuming that you might have some good knowledge of the situation....based on your previous posts of course! No, friend of mine heard it on the radio on the way into work on arrival were told that there would be a meeting at 11 this morning. Must admit, from my earlier post I was wrong!!!!!

silverfoxie Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 KNEW that was coming!!! Hubby and a load of mates were using Euromanx in July and we have flights booked for Christmas! Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1man Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 When will our omnipotent government realise that an open skies policy just doesn’t work for a population of 80,000? Goodness, even the packet has a single user agreement on the linkspan. Perhaps the proposed runway extension can be perfected further so it becomes a bridge? After all, if EM can’t keep a couple of Dash 8’s in the air in competition with Flybe and Manx 2, what hope for an A330 turning up? Let me guess, 80,000 package holidaymakers to Crete? Good luck to the staff at EM, I hope you fair better than the former BA Connect staff did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauer21 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 There was woman on the bus this morning who received a telephone call after hearing it on the radio. What a way to hear about it! The only reason that Flybe have stepped in is because if they didnt, everyone would view them as arseholes and they would lose out on alot of business.
