Oh, but there is.
Enter Stobart, the other AOC in the consortium - fold Flybe, get rid of all the "fat", reassign the assets (Dash 8's - which, would be relatively safe from any FlyBe administrator), and start up the "good" routes once again with very minimal disruption to service. In so doing, you'll accomplish the necessary redundancies which have been on the cards for a few months now, and put the FlyBe pilots that want their jobs on Stobart contracts, doing away with the pesky scheduling agreement.
I know, I know, I'll get my tinfoil hat.
