go back about 12 years. iom-bhd was flybe operated. i acknowledge that in its more recent incarnation it was operated by loganair for flybe.
similaraly, iom-lcy was operated by flybe about 12 years ago.
so, if they are gonig to cry wolf [as suggsted by a previous poster], its a pity. but i recall that they finished off euromanx and also a stated above dropped routes in the past.
