good post cheesycol.
I am led to believe that Flybe would be able to easily crew the EDI/GLA and MAN with their own crew and those currently swimming in the pool. A second point I am reliably informed that Flybe very nearly started the LGW-MAN route effective of the LGW base opening to go with the DUS it was apparently on some plans. However due to the economic climate and BMI coming off the LBA LHR it was shelved and the LBA put in its place. However im not sure what would have happened with the BA route if it went ahead? Anybody have any idea whether they would have come off it or gone into competition? Seems a bit silly to compete on routes given the interests.
Same source mentioned EDI/GLA are ment to be more tricky than MAN due to union issues this true?
