Flybe collapse, what will happen next?! 

Yeah, I feel so bad for them as well. Thanks for your kind words.

@@MentourPilot your very welcome

@@jeffto23ify *you're

Barney Leith my dad was a pilot for Flybe.

@@GUITARTIME2024 well guy, the Beatles did has a say : "when I saw her standing there"... there you go, it's not "stood there" ...!! cheers mate, hope the employees be able to find alternative jobs or its time to be doing your own things, like being self employed. Sad day.

Yeah...probably really difficult to get a new job in the aviation industry at the moment, considering that the Corona Virus will likely go on for months.

@@TheGerudan True :(

I feel bad for the pilots. But thats it. I feel more bad for customers who get ripped off every day due to exorbitant fees that airlines charge people that dont need to be charged for.

I recall the very emotional video of the flight crew announcement of Thomas Cook Air. He was sobbing and crying like crazy through the announcement with the passengers applauding with encouragement. Might be the same. :'(

Me too hate seeing failures

If there's demand something better should take its place that wouldn't have been economic before.

Hopefully more routes will be viable for other operators. Anyone think Virgin might operate any feeder routes into MAN? Loganair have already stepped into some routes from Scotland and Newcastle.

I'm in the other direction, but Exeter is still my local airport - also terribly saddened, although with the way the airline was managed into the ground in recent years I'm unfortunately not surprised :( just hope someone picks up the local routes. Some of Flybe's routes were loss-making but run as a social service ( much like some rail routes are ) - those also need picking up but I worry noone is going to do it.

Logan fly from Cornwall too.

Same tesla (Torquay, i've always felt so lucky to have such an amazing local airport and flybe) 2000+ jobs and 80% of Exeters flights. It's tragic and scary what the impacts could be for us. Not being selfish for how upset i am myself for what an important and professional service flybe has provided to me. But deeply sadened for everyone who suffers uncertanty over there jobs now. I just hope this ends as good as it can. Logan air news on day 1 is a start. Is it enough to save exeter airport and jobs? don't want to think to much about that but it provides hope fkor everyone involved

He is a veteran pilot and wife formerly had a job like that...

No, they are not the last to go unfortunately

@@MentourPilot Hi one of the bigger companies in Sweden SAS is dismissing staff now because of the virus no one dares to fly that much unfortunately. The aviation industry is an incredibly complicated workplace and there are many companies involved.

So how long before Southampton start asking GA to pop in more often.

@@flybobbie1449 It already is... also taking again Training Flights

Lots of weird weight units the Brits use :-)

A heavy joke, not to take lightly in such dark times. If we go on with this, we might get a pounding, by someone, like a Penny.

@@zapfanzapfan A nice mix of imperial and metric in everything. Excellent.

Pound is what money is called in the UK. Like in the US, it is called Dollar.

Nuts In Puss I know, and they have a measurement of weight called Stone which is 14 lbs. Also, the £ to $ conversion is not 1:1

What about the great DAN AIR more out of Manchester & Gatwick

According to BBC Loganair are picking up 16 routes.

Stobart Air will pick up the rest.

Maybe Loganair is the new Flybe? Would be nice for them to take up some of Flybe's aircraft on board with the routes :)

I did too (from SPI)... the square-looking back end always seemed to bring a mental picture of a skydiving plane or similar. Not being pressurized was really bad on my ears ..wow!

As a Microbiologist I feel certain that 19-nCoV is going to be a far worse problem than the general Public are aware of. These (relatively) compact single strand RNA viruses undergo rapid host adaptation, and we should expect a number of genetically distinct, highly host-optimised lineages to emerge as the virus moves into "new" (for it) human populations. This alone will complicate vaccine development, and should 19-nCoV follow the trends seen in other SS RNA viruses (typically Influenza) then we may see recombination / antigenic re-assortment occurring, which will further limit vaccine efficacy. Then, there's the problem that the Coronaviridae (and Rhinoviridae) are not particularly immunogenic - which is why there's no effective vaccine for the Common Cold. Combine this with current evidence that incubation periods may be highly variable, re-infection has occurred (sometimes with fatal outcome), and there are asymptomatic "super-spreaders" already known to exist, and the outcome (for us) may not be quite as rosy as the popular press seem to think.

killer spree did you ever try and take hand luggage with you on their flights?

Are you going into the military?

@@3rdPlanetTravels possibly. I'll decide when finished my degree

The reason I ask is because I'm an aerospace engineer and I know you're going to make much more money as an engineer than a pilot starting out. The military will be the best way to get flight hours if you want to be a career pilot. Otherwise you're gonna have to spend a lot of money to become one.

@@3rdPlanetTravels thanks for the info, I was thinking about getting the degree and working for a few years to save a good chunk of the money for the license and go from there

Stobart group is in deep doodoo too. They might not have the balls for that kind of thing.....

Cant see Virgin taking many. Their flights have been cut for Coronavirus. Flybe had different aircraft which will need new extensive training regime.

Correct in that it is not spent on green jobs-- nor on mitigating the Carbon effects of the flight. Wrong in that every increase in price discourages some customers. Taxing aviation is therefore a market intervention which could have green effects. Even if the airport tax was not originally for that reason, removing it now is sending the wrong signals to the market, as the environmental groups correctly said. The monetarists want Carbon-pricing and Carbon taxes to be the only form of control. Others want regulation as well.

Short answer: it's in the airplane manual

MOSEL manual, that is one of the operational manual set.

AIUI the barking sound indicates an imbalance in pressure between the hydraulic systems; this is perfectly normal during startup when only one engine is running. Maybe one of the hydraulic pumps was bad on your plane?

@@CoolerQ yes, i guess that is what happened. But i think it would be interesting with a video about kind of which problems you can fly with inclouding examples of it.

@Stephen Hill what was the financial fallout like, though?

Exactly right. Flying out of Southampton early in the morning they would employ one person to stand by the entrance to security to measure every wheelie bag, and one more to "guide" passengers to the check in desks (which were all only for Flybe anyway). If you were lucky there were 2 people checking you in. All while the self service check in machines they had bought sat idle (apparently fell foul of some EU regulation).

In fact a British Government rescue could have been more likely if it were not for EU Regs on these matters...

Did you not listen? Flybe was in trouble last year. Sterling is down a long way, and the drop in oil price is really recent.

well, a business can only fly as often as they have demand. if they fly every hour, but only fill 40% of their seats, it won't be profitable. but if the fly once a day, but are able to fill up every seat, thats profitable. doesn't mean that those flight make sense for you personally.

If you paid with a credit card, you can claim through that.

Great western railway were offering free train tickets today, I dont know how long the offer stands for.

Mark Jones Always pay with a credit card everything that relates to traveling. If you can’t get a credit card from your bank then look for alternatives like Bunq Travel Card or similar. It is a MasterCard credit card without the credit.

@@verttikoo2052 The only snag with credit card is the extra charge, most people want to fly cheap as possible so i used debit card.

Mark Jones That is the beauty of the Bunq Travel Card. I pay 7,99€ per month and I have 3 cards from that bank. The Travel card that is MasterCard Credit, then I have MasterCard Debit that I use for daily shopping 🛍 and then I have virtual MasterCard Debit that I use for shopping online and for subscriptions. I can have one more card with the same monthly fee, but I don’t need it. (That could be a card for a shared account for example.) I don’t have other fees and I have ApplePay with all of these except the virtual card that I haven’t connected to it. I have total control over these cards. I can change PIN number and ICV number in seconds from the APP. I have several accounts that I can create as I want. 7,99€ per month for that is not bad. They are a Dutch bank and they are covered by the ECB. I have been super happy with them. Everything is through the APP. Check them. I have been super happy. They have a MasterCard Credit that doubles the warranty. So if you buy something like electronics and you have one years warranty then if you buy with it it will be doubled to 2. Very clever. /end of add 🙄 Never pay anything travel related in cash or with a debit card. That is the main message. Shop around there is options. There is a rule that you should change bank, insurance, electric company and mobile operator every two years because that is how you get better deals and that keeps the companies on their toes. You just say that I got this offer so is there something that you can do to keep me as a customer? Then you select the better one.
