BE's franchise agreements have largely been a disaster and agree that they really need to get their own house in order first. Long standing issues that are well documented on this forum concerning Stobart Air must have caused a huge distraction to their core business and at a time when they need as much good publicity as they can. Retrenchment is the name of the game for BE at present and to operate profitable high frequency routes whilst reducing their fleet size to fit capacity. Clearly I am an outsider looking on in but I would guess that BE/Stobart are very ready to walk away from this arrangement, shake hands and move on!
