BAladdy, is probably correct, some are steering this thread off course.
Whether, Flybe takeover the routes from GLA and EDI to LGW is pure speculation, as most of us know, word on the street, is that over the last 20 years the (BA) route has made no significant revenue to their earnings and I stress that is pure hear say. Personally, I would doubt that BACF could make a profit on it because of the high operating costs of the RJ, unless they had a significant contract with a bank or similar institution to guarantee cash flow. However, if they were to refleet, with EMB 170's, 190's, or Dash 8 Q400's, is another matter and I wish them well if such an opportuntity arose - but it does seem perhaps more than a coincidence that Flybe still has options on a further 12 EMB 195's, and of course there is also the BMI Lufty thing, but that would be completely out of order on this thread.
I rest my case and will post no more on this topic. Best wishes and good luck to all concerned, because, make no mistake, we shall all need it over the next 12 months, if not longer.
