If there was a restriction that would not allow such negative journalism at such times would this make any difference? I ask only because of the sheer volume of customer queries on twitter and Facebook and the unnecessary comments from, what would seem to be, self proclaimed armchair financial experts citing every personal issue with Flybe as their reason for financial difficulty.

I appreciate that the public have the right to know what happens in the country but I do wonder if restrictions may just enable some breathing space?

Look forward to everyone’s thoughts particularly those close to business failures in the past.
Yes... the public have a right to know. Bit late for me as I booked my tickets for next week just a few days ago. But other pax who would be thinking of flying in the future should be made aware that their money could disappear without trace. Not just Thomas Cook and Monarch.... look at how Excel crashed 11 1/2 years ago.... they slashed fares to giveaway prices and then pulled the plug.
