Onion, i'm not getting into a slagging match, nor am i poking fun. I apologise if any part of my post offended you, but i fail to see the part you describe as 'funny'. I can only imagine how the affected people are feeling right now and they have my best wishes.

Some facts as to why i dont think RYR will fill the void (at least with a based aircraft)
They dont fly to Palma.
MME to Alicante via REU or GRO:
Reus is approx 24M West of Barcelona, Gerona is 30M+ East of Barcelona.
"Barcelona to Alicante, you just follow the coastline. Make sure you have some money with you because the motorway is not free of charge. You should pay in between 40 to 50 Euros for the about 650 km. So it is a 6 to 7 hours trip by car." Nobody in their right mind will do that journey. Looking on the bright side they do fly to Murcia (30 miles South).
With regard to FlyBe i was thinking more of the core spanish routes, and weather they would have among the 12 ordered 195s a spare one to do MME?
My moneys on Globespan, heres hoping anyway!
