So from what I understand reading the above fairly reliably sourced journalism aka the telegraph (as reliable as can be on here) - which isn't going to just make up that Shapps has intervened - is that we are now at a major point where it will become apparent or not whether it was all a slot play?
Reading that it seems any chance of FlyBe 2 getting the slots from FlyBe 1 are dead in the water, meanwhile there are slots allocated to Flybe 2 from MAN/BHX which are currently not in use with no restart in sight whatsoever publicly as we charge full steam ahead into a domestic stay-cation summer?
If it is indeed a real endeavor whatsoever then where are they? Have they realised Covid has killed the industry? Has anyone had eyes on that dash 8 registered to them?
Or has it all died a death?
