Going up or down ?
As the original thread was cancelled today (and with the large swings in the share price) i thought we needed another one

I had a good trade long here a few months back ,however Goldfinger was right if he stayed short ,i just wonder where now ? they don't look to be in great shape .

i'm short at an avr of 84.5 and am happy to stay that way for the time being

Just reading in shares that Flybe will see no reduction in fuel cost until 2016 or 2017 at the earliest due to its hedging strategy. I wonder if any other airlines got it so wrong.
Most seem keen to pass the saving on to customers. Just seems strange Flybe have burnt a large hole in their pockets with fuel. ps is the mauve fish wishing the sp up or pulling it down. :-))

dc - From across the road db4 sends his regards and thanks you for post 23.

Cheers Chris and db4 :-))

FLYB also have the millstone of a bunch of unsold and perhaps almost unsaleable rustbuckets

I was reading the average age of the fleet is 9.9 yrs (Virgin's average fleet age is 9.7yrs)but there are some very old craft in the list of their fleet. There is two or three 20 yr old aircraft. Mind you not as old as the early 60's bac 1'11s s of the then British world flying out of Stansted in the 90's.

bulls of FLYB would do well to read today's ST wherein they'll find a lengthy article with nothing positive to say

Just read that myself ,you'll be keeping that short open then .

would post the article if i knew how

Doesn't Murdoch allow C&P then Alf?

Membership fee first :-))

Yes I know D/C but surely Alf has one as thats how he can tell us about the article?

I take it he has the newspaper and not a subscription to online. Only guessing Stan.
As you can tell, I'm no computer expert. Perhaps it can be scanned and copied and pasted?

Oh I see, yes I forgot I suppose yet another payment demanded for the online version.

you're right; ST is subscribe only on-line and as i get the real thing .....

at least no one has accused me of making up a story :-)
however, if you're a holder, i would strongly recommend that you acquire a viewing of the article - from your local library perhaps? - and then you can make up your own mind
