With Ryanair coming into SEN, and easyJet well established there, you can take it that the need for Stobart(/Flybe) scheduled services will be less necessary. I don't see (/IMHO) this Stobart/Flybe arrangement continuing for long.

I see Stobart (/if they don't join forces with Cityjet/Nostrum, going fully into ACMI. This is again IMHO where their future opportunity from an airline perspective lies, I.e. ACMI, whether they join or not (Cityjet will pursue the EI R contract and this will bring a further need to assess their synergies).

I'm going slightly off topic above, but what does all this mean in the context of these reliability issues, it means their BE contract ends next year(??) And this is not their top priority.
