However, they seem to see the deal as postive overall with Flybe doubling it's turnover to £600 million and greatly increasing market share at birmingham and manchester. IPO of Flybe will now be delayed till at least Summer 2008 and not before amalgamation of the two airlines.

All the best to those involved
