Indeed! This has been the position for 8/9 years, once the BA Connect dowry had all been consumed, there has always been some 'excuse', and promises of big things, at the end of the rainbow.

Down-sizing to significantly enhanced profitabilty is a very hard trick to pull off in any business, and bearing in mind the history here, it is hard to see FlyBe succeeding.

I'm not sure what the answer is, but I can't see how they have a long-term future, in the current form and business model.
