In the word 'bye' is the 'y' a vowel or a consonant?

"Y" is a consonant. It is always a consonant no matter how it is used. Sometimes it can take the place of a vowel, as in the word "Bye" but there are only 5 true vowels, A, E, I, O and U.Dissenting OpinionThe "y" being a vowel or consonant is dependent on the pronunciation of the letter in a word. "Y" as a consonant requires the sound found in the word "yes" or the German "ja" (IPA - "J"). The "y" in bye does not have the same sound as these. (A word which does - but is not spelled with a "y" is butte.) Therefore, the "y" in bye is a vowel. As noted in the above opinion, "y" is not a true vowel because it can function as a consonant, which no true vowel can.
