IMHO I think they were trying to get through to the winter schedule under crewed to save costs and found out they couldn't.
Not sure FO is correct in his info. G CCYH now RJXR was a leased A/C that they secured an extended 3 year lease on. It is not owned by bmi. This info was in an e mail from DFOp's. All the others are owned though. Ex Flybe A/C were sold to an american consortium through Airstream and I expect it to one of those that comes soon.
