Almost certainly not... It's almost impossible to imagine that there won't be a ressession given the reduction in economic activity in China and Italy and most probably more countries to add to the list.Will this company be the only one going down because of Corvid 19?
If only the trains weren't overcrowded, overpriced and unreliable.Maybe we should use boats and trains to get around our tiny archipelago rather than the most environmentally damaging option we can think of. Just an idea.
Investing in airports is a lot cheaper than investing in trains when you don't bother tracking the environmental costs on the balance sheet. Quite the opposite if you do. Vote for someone who gives a shit, only solution unfortunately.If only the trains weren't overcrowded, overpriced and unreliable.
Other than for commuting to London I fly within the UK or I hire a car. Been left stranded by the train one too many times.
Trains should be the backbone of this country. It's a shame we have handed them over to government endorsed cartels who could not give two shits about how they operate as long as the money keeps flowing up to them.If only the trains weren't overcrowded, overpriced and unreliable.

Possibly. But to those in the UK inconvenienced I'm not sure who owned or used the FlyBe name will have been much of a concern.I thought he was injured
Probably not, ironically as this is in a football forum, the old Flybe is something that came from Jack Walker, he of Blackburn fame, he built/owned the airline that ultimately became FlybePossibly.

Let's be honest they were shit before privatisation too.Trains should be the backbone of this country. It's a shame we have handed them over to government endorsed cartels who could not give two shits about how they operate as long as the money keeps flowing up to them.
Me eirher!Have never flown Flybe
And if you normalise those numbers based on miles travelled?

You weren't on a Flybe plane then, the biggest aircraft they ever flew was a Boeing 737-300 which had a capacity of about 150 seatsPerhaps the strangest experience I’ve had flying were the FlyBe flights to and from Switzerland on planes designed for 100’s of passengers and only having about 10 people on them. Basically a giant private jet at that point. Such an utter waste of fuel at a great cost to the environment.
I should think staff have seen this coming for a while and have been bailing on them before the axe fell.
Cars travel more miles than planes or trains do, aviation is responsible for about 2% of greenhouse gases, ICE's are much more than thatAnd if you normalise those numbers based on miles travelled?
150 people then. Point is, the plane was empty and it was surreal.You weren't on a Flybe plane then, the biggest aircraft they ever flew was a Boeing 737-300 which had a capacity of about 150 seats
Crazily enough 150 is within the hundreds.You weren't on a Flybe plane then, the biggest aircraft they ever flew was a Boeing 737-300 which had a capacity of about 150 seats
Must have a been a while back - it's years since they used thoseCrazily enough 150 is within the hundreds.
I once flew from London to Chicago on a 747 that had about 40 passengers, and from Malta to Rome on a 180 seater and there were 9 of us - neither time did the buggers give me an upgrade!150 people then. Point is, the plane was empty and it was surreal.
Once flew Boston to Columbus, Ohio, 2 months after 9/11. There were 3 of us on the flight, me, my brother and another chap who had the same surname. That was strange.I once flew from London to Chicago on a 747 that had about 40 passengers, and from Malta to Rome on a 180 seater and there were 9 of us - neither time did the buggers give me an upgrade!
