The constant Flybe bashing is becoming rather tiresome. You may be pleased to see Flybe coming under pressure but anyone who thinks EZY can make money on £9.99 tickets is living in cloud cuckoo land. Look at the market share on BHD/BFS-LGW, if you do you'll see that Flybe is taking part of EZY's share. Flybe aren't afraid of a fight. Quite simply, EZY have the wrong aircraft for length of flight.

EZY couldn't make JERLTN work in a much larger market than the combined LPL/MAN-IOM market. I really don't anticipate this lasting long, that is if it ever gets started at all. They take your taxes in discounted landing charges and once that runs out they'll be off.

You may get discounted tickets for a while, but they'll only be tickets that residents have indrectly subsidised anyway!
