If that refers to FlyBe then Pete's analysis suggests on 4 routes gone, which give the dire forecasts of doom and gloom doesn't appear to me to be too bad a result.
Sorry AT I only concentrated on the main routes where there would be a significant loss but I wasn't far out on the number of routes but reduced capacity is more the issue - my apologies.

The routes are

Dusseldorf - 1 - 3 daily
Hamburg 4- 6 a week
Hannover 4-7 a week
Biarritz 1-3 a week
Bastia - weekly

I think that is it just the 5 and I can only see Hamburg getting replaced as a schedule and Eurowings taking up the DUS slack.

I think the problem was a lot of the routes operate for two months only so the capacity cut is quite significant with the likes of Avignon, Brest, La Rochelle and Bergerac just weekly, Newquay starting later but overall it is not too bad. To be honest I have not really delved too deeply other than Amsterdam and CDG for obvious reasons. The base fares on these two look a little high so just maybe we haven't had the last amendments on these routes.
