A friend of a friend who swears his best mates other best friend heard from a source close to someone who is close to a guy who says he knows a girl who was told by a family friend that BHD management have secured other operators to step in and take on the majority of BE routes if they folded. Not sure how true it is but I would say more than BHD is having informal exploratory talks with carriers and possibly even outside the UK to take on some routes.
