LOL I dont mean wait until you’ve made your application, speak to them now, get them to confirm their position, and if its good get them to put it in writing so its no longer an issue. If its bad then you’ve got more time to sort it out. 🙂

Highly likely it would show on all the paperwork even if it was an admonishment (what a silly word) it sounds to me like your sitting between two situations: whether in “their” eyes you have a criminal conviction or not. To me (a totally non qualified legal person in every way) it would appear that you have a good chance of being able to persuade them to view the admonishment as not a criminal conviction, as there appears to be much ambiguity over it.

However as others have said the only way to do this is to speak to the people involved, and argue your case. Be prepared to spend a good few hours explaining your situation to people over and over again, its more than likely you will be able to persuade some department within “Disclosure Scotland” that your admonishment is not a criminal conviction.

If the answer you recieve at first isnt the one you want to hear, keep trying and dont take it lying down!

Cant say I’ve had a problem with the FlyBe 146s, they are infinitly more roomy than Ryanair 738s and any aircraft in the Easyjet fleet, particularly on the 319 which serves my most frequented route.

The trick is to get a seat as far back as possible, as they usually fill up from the front, so if the flight is not 100% full, there is a greater chance you are not sitting directly next to someone. I spent a good 2 and a half hours like that once due to a delay, and it was perfectly comfortable (and im 6’3).

I dont think there are even any operators of the 7 in Europe anymore.

The last 7 operator here was probably Brymon, which I think operated a mixed fleet of 7’s and 8’s at one point.

Looks like they do lots of ad-hoc and long term charter work, the Dash 8 is working for the UN at the moment:

Heres one of the 7:

From the info I have from airlinerlist.com Voyageur Airways in Canada seem to be the only operator of both types still, with 6 Dash 7s, and 1 Dash 8.

Whilst this would probably have sent shockwaves several years ago, bankruptcy is just a state of convenience whereby a carrier can get a whole load of concessions given to them nowadays.

I doubt this will have ANY impact on VARIGs operations at all :rolleyes:

Just trying to work out why another photo was added to this thread nearly a year after it was first posted! 😀
