It's good to see some things don't change including Jamie's optimism as the chief cheerleader (and pot stirrer) for Flybe's reincarnation on here!

Unless there is a very radical change in the market between now and that time then the prospect of Flybe being floated is fanciful. From those fairly close to this, a trade sale in a very short space of time (less than two years) sounds to be the agenda. That requires a fleet ramp-up to be able to fly slots and therefore hold them in the absence of a continued Covid-19 slot usage waiver. That isn't my assumption by the way - that's the considered view of some involved in this project since Flybe failed.

Am also hearing rumours that a Manchester base / operation is off the cards as the airport won't play ball?
