Focus on the network carriers ... Flybe have plenty of advantages over other airlines to compete in this space.
I totally agree. Connectivity is the key. The other problem is that the general travelling public expecting to travel to Europe for £9.99. I've predicted for a long time the locos model is not sustainable. RYR and EZY cracks are starting to show as well. The travelling public need to realise that to travel say from Gatwick to Glasgow is going to cost you £200 return as the pilots, cabin staff, ATC, ground staff, etc etc all need to be paid and cannot do it for nothing anymore.
