I think there's a difference between wanting an airline to fail and saying it's all about slots.
I've no axe to grind with Flybe, I very nearly worked for them, but likewise I have a horrible nagging suspicion this is all about slots. I think it is possible, from my perspective anyway, to wish any new airline well but remain suspicious around the motives. That's purely based on my conclusions around the venture capitalists who were involved and reading the EY reports and CAA reports.
If it isn't slot related was the Flybe brand really that revered that it's worth all these legal battles to resurrect?
