at this point I think a government loan isn’t going to be seen to be fair, and if it needs a loan on commercial terms why doesn’t Virgin Atlantic loan them ?
surely the better outcome would of been for IAG to buy the company rather than connect last year ?

Very well may have been better for IAG to buy them but IAG wasn’t interested. Flybe is a basket case of an airline.
As for the article you mentioned, it didn’t feature any concrete plans just that other airlines had discussed stepping in and taking over routes if Flybe went under.
