But again - taking the emotional side apart - at what cost? Economically does it makes sense or do we just need a patient transfer airline servicing small aircraft hopping between the UK's Islands? Running around in expensive to operate ERJ's isn't going to keep the stability going forward and nor is buying 25 year old ATR's.
And what cost is involved for starting a new airline with small aircraft, likely to be older aircraft again etc. Hence why Loganair whether its liked or not will likely receive the ball out they want but likely to be a much smaller airline, with the expensive ERJs etc dissappearing fast.
