Strategic decision to run one down and place much of the UK flying with another to whom you have recently place Embraer's. Looks ok to me.
Not sure you can use the "run one down" as this doesn't seem to have been the case, on the face of things at least - more like "run them out".
And also the fact that they announced taking over the flybmi aircraft, ABZ routes and set-up a whole new crew base in NCL within 24hrs...
All seems very orchestrated...and terribly convenient.
