Flybe are consistent at one thing…being late. This airline has a serious problem. I have been flying to and from Edinburgh for the past 6 weeks. All 12 flights have been late. And I’m not talking a 10 or 20 minutes. They have been up to 3 hours late, like this morning! I’m suppose to be in the air right now on my way up to Edinburgh, but when I checked in at 5.30am this morning, the lady told me my flight would not be leaving until 10.10 instead of 7.15. It appears to be a moral thing as 1st officers, pilots and flight attendants keep phoning in sick. And for whatever reason, flybe doesn’t seem to have anyone on immediate standby to take the place of their stricken comrade. So us weary passengers have to wait. Most of us on the 7.15 flight are business folk which means our work day is kind of cocked up.
But such is such. I’ll wait it out in the executive lounge and get high off of coffee and orange juice and Scottish fruit cakes.
Why not try another airline? BMI?
If only it were that simple, they both are as bad as each other, although saying that, BMI’s Edinburgh flight left on time yesterday.
How annoying. 🙁
