Frequency cuts at BE are for a good reason. Airlines have traditionally lost fortunes over the 3rd and forth quarter...flying empty aircraft about with what passengers are on, all on loss-leader fares. BA are masters at it.
Of, course, Traditionally, airlines go skint too, and flybe are trying to avoid this by cutting the quiet flights and putting folk onto the remaining flights.
Moan you might, but they don't cut the first or last flights, and they give pax a good few weeks notice and don't charge anything else to change them.
This way, you still have an airline next year........
