I imagine the DoT are vexed since they seem anxious to avoid RE looking like the inhouse airline and yet (as with Euroceltic) it seems to end up that way.
It is beginning to look that way, isnt it? But why couldnt it have been advertised again, in the hope of Flybe or Britair or Cityjet applying? (I know, shot in the dark!!!) Although no public announcement has been made by BA (marketing carrier) for the withdrawal of the Dub/noc, they had some sort of notice. The jungle drums indicate maybe upto two months notice.(Indications may have emerged from Logieland the week of the summer timetable) Surely enough for a firesale PSO offering? Bung a few extra quid at BA to keep them in situ for a month or two/ get the contracts and wave it imperiously in the Logieland direction to keep them in situ for a month or two.
Btw, not accusing dodgy stuff, just wondering.
