I am not sure 'infamous' is quite the word I would have used, 'opportunist' perhaps, after all business is a shark infested lagoon. The Flybe business model seems to be very flawed thanks to the legacy of Jim French together with the naive and binding contracts he and his board signed with Embraer. How low the share price has to go before the company becomes attractive to a prospective buyer remains to be seen. I am sure Stobart are grateful that the Tinkler deal didn't complete a few months ago.
