FlyBe a re doing a good job getting shot of a load of 145s already. Can't see them wanting a load more to find homes for, unless the leases are pretty short anyway. The value of 145s must be in freefall by now anyway.

The great unknown was whether the RJs actually were the profitable part of BACON or as usual whether it was all in some accountants political instructions to make them appear so. I can't see A318s for Cityclyer, as the 318 only comes with one engine, and it would mean yet another engine type for BA's minibus fleets. Not good for commonality at all.

There was a move long ago for the RJ pilots to get onto the bottom of BA's seniority list, I think this is a palatable option for LCG, TDLF &co. to accept if they don't get a good renewal from RBS come contract time...
