I think that maybe we need to look at the reasons for such changes.
Flybe appear to be doing very well at the moment and are expanding profitably but have grown massively in the past couple of years. Maybe they are using this winter as a means of steadying the growth.
With a planned floatation on the cards for next year the last thing that they want is to devalue the business with a bad winter of losses. My guess is that they are just sitting back and taking stock to see what develops and as a result they are not taking any chances.
