True, but the NQY schedule announced by Flybe doesn't match your assessment of the situation.
The published timetable uses 4 arrival and departure slot pairs operating at exactly the same time 7 days a week.
Flybe sold all their previous LGW slots to easyJet. So how have they obtained these slots ?
Given the price paid in recent years by IAG for the ex Monarch slots and easyJet for the ex Thomas Cook LGW slots, how can a company which was supposedly on the verge of collapse just a few days ago afford to gain such slots ?
Something underhand going on. I just hope us taxpayers haven't footed the bill.
