I'm sorry to read all this. I used to fly with Flybe from SOU quite a lot and always found them reliable and friendly.
Airline takeovers/mergers are almost always a problem and taking on the BACON EMB195s has probably not been easy. I had several cancellations and one or two scary moments when flying with BACON on those things (The only jet I have been on which the crew couldn't get started!).
Add in difficulties with the unions and Flybe are in for a tough time. I hope they can survive it and return to original form.
