I absolutely agree, but given a lot of the network provides valuable links for many communities the government should have a plan on how to maintain service, especially to Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Cornwall and the Channel islands (even Southampton). Maybe reduce APD, provide local subsidies for the most important services... Keeping flyBe on life support shouldn't be the only option on the table.
