Also, a very brave move when everyone is cutting capacity due to Covid-19 and appears to be little or no containment in the spread currently. The market still has further to fall before it recovers - making those kinds of commitments to fixed costs of recruitment and integration and possibly additional aircraft either ACMI or dry leased they are either clever or stupid.... I can't work out which it is yet!

Whilst it is a horrendous time currently for Flybe staff - I'd be more focused on conserving existing cash in the face of the current air travel turmoil and not announcing routes to get people excited and win publicity for the sake of it. Someone is going to look a right tit if the market continues to plummet and even Loganair start feeling it and have to consider parking up or laying off staff!
