Heard from a reliable source last week that BMI baby and flybe are in talks for a buy out. The 146 will be disposed of leaving a fleet of 737's and Q400's. Certain routes will be swapped over to the 400 and others onto the 73. Flybe will retain the name and the 146 jockeys will transfer onto the 737. A fleet of 70 aircraft comprising of 40 Q400's and 30 737's will make Flybe the third largest low cost carrier in Europe.
