Just my opinion of course but I don't see it going any other way which is a shame. Maybe if they had given in to Stobart the first time then it may not have come to this.
The Stobart Group could buy FlyBe without merging them with Stobart Air
Flybe are kind of a different type of operation to Stobart Air and Warwick Brady is/was a low cost airline man.
He could oversee it like Walsh oversees BA. I'm sure he has run into enough contacts to put his own management team in.
Advantage is that even if other airlines with larger planes take on some of FlyBe's routes when they grow, it will still be a plus for his airport.
