Flybe-V1
Has there been any kind of suggestion as to when roughly Flybe will start flying commercially ?
I'm sure (or hope!) the company has an internal target start date, but wondering if that had become public knowledge yet.... is March 2022 the right ballpark or too ambitious ?

I would have thought the painting of the aircraft would have coincided a little closer to the start of ops.
Seems an unnecessary waste of lease cash each month if it's going to sit on the ground until next Spring as I wouldn't have thought a Dash 8 would be that difficult to secure?

Eastern would make sense or Loganair. I doubt Flybe are interested in the early sages of having a single aircraft stationed far away from base with a handful of new crew.
Better to have it at a central hub given all the line training that will be required when flying commences.
Not sure about the sims whereabouts or if they will even have one? depends on how many aircraft they will be flying especially as they are the only Q400 operator in the UK.

Is it just coincidental that the first two airframes painted in the 'new' Flybe scheme happen to be the two that received substantial damage in previous landing incidents with the original Flybe?

Can't understand how this new Flybe is spending loafs on aircraft and staff etc ,yet still no start up date or route information. Given there is a lead in time for bookings to come in surely an announcement needs to come soon purely to start generating some cash from advance bookings. You can't just keep spending with no income
Businesses only pay tax on profits, and they are not likely in FY 1.
