Why would anyone buy baby? -If, as flightrider states above that they have lost £40m WW have at best less than a half dozen sustainably profitable routes accross the network.

It would be better for Flybe, Easy, Monarch, Ryanair or Lingus to just start operating these routes rather than buy a selection of leased classic 737s and legacy staff.

Baby isnt an Aer Lingus acquistion for Ryanair, BAciti for Flybe or a Go acquisition for Easy. They have / had significant benefits to the acquiring company in terms of scale and in terms of disposing of a major competitor in a major area of operations (dublin, midlands and london).

Baby delivers neither to either.
