It doesn’t matter all were BA remedy slots !
They have no value to Flybe administrators or their creditors as they can’t be sold on
They return to BA(IAG) pool until someone else wants to try Aberdeen Edinburgh Nice Moscow Cairo or Saudi or convince the regulators to vary the GBNI/EU points
Technically the GBNI/EU variation should only come into play after 6 completed IATA scheduled seasons however Flybe 2.0 somehow managed to convince the regulators somewhat earlier due to prior ops of Flybe 1.Moscow is also off the table for other reasons right now
Caveat Nice may have been removed from the list as AirFrance now compete with a daily domestic configured 320 each morning a route they codeshared with bmi back in the day
