Flybe Support

I am thrilled to report that Flybe.com have become very involved with the campaign and lend it their full support. I have already met with them to discuss the way forward and these discussions are ongoing. I have also today met again with David Laws MP, Brian Watt from Flybe came with me, and we are now putting together a summary of our proposals to put to the new government.

If any of you are from the constituency of David Willetts then would you be able to write to him to try and enlist his support as I think he will be a key figure in our future discussions with the government. if you need any help please do contact me via the website.
