Given the flybe issues and Eastern having to get their own booking engine up and running I don't think it's really relevant. This quote was given in the context of the MME flights, but I think it's relevent here also (Jetscream 32 is going to love this!!
):
Roger Hage, general manager of Eastern Airways, said: “It’s tremendous to have new flights running today. We thought about it last week but we are an established operator and people know who we are. The flights are not going to be busy this week but we thought it was better than leaving it for three weeks. We were running those flights for free but it was more important to do that because we want to carry on with those flights ourselves. We didn’t want everything to stop because then people think it has stopped for good.
