Hmmm....in a well-connected continent hey? Ok the continent maybe but the UK other than to and from London is far from well-connected. That's the space that FlyBe fills, As someone has already said: if FlyBe didn't exist you may end up having to create it. A far better longer term strategy is to focus the significant resources of this very rich country in to filling the infrastructure gap in areas that aren't London and the South East
