Towards the end of last summer's schedule Flybe didn't even know if there was a buyer out there let alone have the finances to put early hand backs into motion. Most people on here, whilst they knew Flybe were "in trouble", had no idea just how close to the precipice they came.
Yes i did and even now with the exception of Faro and Paris the European routes end in September which is one of the busiest months of the year, Milan ends at the end of September so definitely something odd there or part of the wind down of the base closure maybe one that was planned no matter what as it could be reasonable to assume that by September there may not be many crew left at CWL? July-October 2019 went onsale in early October 2018.
