Only surprise is that Flybe have not mounted a serious challenge to them at Aberdeen.
HB thus far Flybe and Eastern have co-habited fine over the past few years. Mounting a serious attempt to challenge Eastern at ABZ or infact any other base would overstretch Flybe. This maybe why Flybe has not been able to wrestle the Scatsta contract from Eastern or Flybe were unable to make the contract work, if Deano777 is correct.
I personally do not believe Flybe have the inclination or the resources to take on Eastern which can only be a good thing for both airlines.
