On one side you have Flybe who know that if they take their toys away they leave CWL with a very big hole to fill. On the other side is CWL who signed a ten year deal to subsidise the E jets in exchange for profits at the back end of the deal. I suspect that Flybe will want to rip up that deal, bank the subsidy they have already received and get another cheap/subsidised deal. Imagine what difficulties that would pose for CWL/Welsh Government and then imagine what a difficult conversation it must be.
