With regards to IAG, what's so difficult to comprehend about it? The only thing missing from their armoury is a regional airline. Remember it's IAG we're talking about, not BA, IAG as a group may well want a regional airline and why not? They have the finances and power to do what is necessary to turn Flybe into a profitable airline. They could of course start by grounding the Embraer 195s, IAG will have the money to do this and it will instantly put Flybe back in the black. Flybe have a strong business, it just needs the correct guidance and restructuring.
Agreed. In terms of the 195s, there are primarily 3 based at SEN which have repeated tech issues, bin them off, replace with more reliable airframes. Perhaps switch in that new Aer Lingus (IAG) Avro config operated by Cityjet.
