Bermuda - bit of both

ba.com today...

A policy has been issued for customers affected by BA Connect services cancelled as a result of the forthcoming sale to Flybe.
These changes are planned as part of the sale of BA Connect to Flybe and involve routes and services which will be cancelled post-acquisition.
All passengers will be offered alternative flights with Fly be or British Airways mainline to minimise inconvenience, or offered the choice of a full refund.
BA Connect and Flybe apologises for any inconvenience caused

All of the routes being cancelled are substantial loss makers for the current BA Connect business. These routes need to be cancelled to protect the on-going viability of the business.
Post-acquisition, Flybe will become Europe's largest regional airline, offering 152 routes to 36 European destinations, flying from more UK airports than any other airline and offering passengers competitive fares and high levels of customer service.

There are 90 odd routes from all BACON stations in the list of cancellations on ba.com
