Some folk here are missing a vital point of the BA Connect takeover by flybe.
The matter of 12 million pounds! That money I am sure will go to underwriting the operation of the Emb145 fleet for the next 12 months or so.
There is no way flybe can operate even 50% of BA Connects route structure beyond March 07 without the 145, so that money must be going towards the operating cost of these airframes.
If anyone thinks this strange, well it is par for the course, just see what the bright sparks at BA did with the "Jetstreams going to Eastern Airways" fiasco....
