FlyBe problems

Hey everybody

First of all Im sure most of already know that I work for Servisair/Globeground in Dublin airport, now one airline we handle is FlyBe who operate 4 daily flights into DUB-3 from SOU and 1 from EXT and soon 1 from NWI.

However FlyBe are now the first airline Ive said Id never fly.
I dont know if its just on the SOU/EXT-DUB routes or if they have the same problems all over their network.

It seems the Dash 8s do nothing except go tech which puts a huge delay onto their flights. I wouldnt mind if this happened every once in a while as it does with most airlines but this happens with FlyBe at least twice a week.

To add to their problems SOU airport closes about 10 pm and if the evening flight is anyway delayed then the passengers are really P off when they find out they are going to EXT or BHX and then being bussed to SOU.

However it seems they cant even do that right and on a number of occassion they have failed to provide the transport from the alternative airport to the passengers final destination.

Last night for the first time since I started working ion the airport they issued LRVs but still the passengers werent to happy they were going to EXT.

Another situation which I found beyond belief was waiting to board the EXT flight when 2 cabin crew arrive in the terminal building and tell us they are going for breaffast and wont be long. Fair enough alot of crews gets off planes to do a sot of shopping but they didnt come back until 5 minutes AFTETR departure time and we couldnt start boarding without them.

Now that Ive gotten that off my chest can some others tell me what they think about BE and their serious problems.
