the last Manx Airlines flight (JE 818 Birmingham International to Ronaldsway by ATP G-MANB on 31 August 2002) was captained by Quine. The BRAL Group was bought out for about £72 million by British Airways, and Manx Airlines ceased to exist. British Airways After the acquisition, Quine found himself once more posted to Manchester Airport, this time to operate the Avro RJ100 for British Airways Citiexpress to various European destinations. Upon the re-organisation of British Airways' regional operations, he transferred fleets to take command of the Dash-8 Q-300 and continued to operate from Manchester. Flybe On 3 November 2006, British Airways chief executive Willie Walsh said that BA had reached an agreement for Flybe to acquire their regional subsidiary, BA Connect. Flybe assumed the majority of the British Airways routes operated by BA Connect, and introduced the Dash-8 Q-400 onto these routes. Quine was amongst the first of the ex-BA Connect pilots to undergo the conversion course onto the new aircraft type at Farnborough Aerodrome, Hampshire. As Flybe continued to re-organise the route structure which it had inherited, Quine was posted back to the Isle of Man. Flybe was further restructured in 2014, and its Isle of Man base was closed. Quine was posted to Flybe's base at Belfast City Airport, from where he operated for 14 months. In summer 2015, he was again posted to Manchester, from where he continued to operate the Dash-8 Q-400 on various Flybe routes until the Isle of Man base reopened in 2019. Quine remained based on the Isle of Man until Flybe went into administration on 5 March 2020. During his time with Flybe, he served on the Company Council of the British Airline Pilots' Association. Loganair Following his time in politics Quine resumed his career in commercial aviation, joining Loganair in March 2022. He currently operates the ATR-72 based at Ronaldsway Airport, Isle of Man. Politics Quine was one of ten people nominated in July 2020 to fill the two vacant seats in the House of Keys in the constituency of Douglas South – the largest number ever to contest a Keys by-election. The by-election took place on 27 August 2020. After two recounts, Quine came second in the poll, securing one of the two seats. Despite almost trebling his vote at the 2021 Manx general election, Quine narrowly lost his seat in the Douglas South constituency. Election results 2020 Personal life
