IOM very reliant on them also
If the political ethos of the UK was interventionist then perhaps the government would throw money at FlyBe were the worst to happen. However in the real world the only businesses that they are in the least bit interested in supporting are the banks as we learnt back in 2008.
If Exeter (airport) became a ghost town, would No.10 lose a moments sleep? I very much doubt it.
If FlyBe were a major player at LHR, they may give it a little more attention, then move on, let the market decide etc etc.
