According to Wales Online approx 6 months ago. Depending on the figures for 2010 out fo CWL then we are expected for up to 50 jobs created at CWL by Flybe. This would suggest a Flybe base.
Before the recession Flybe wanted to operate some German and French routes which could only provide business friendly flight times with a base at CWL
Think maybe you're getting 'base' mixed up with a night-stopping aeroplane that uses local crews....
Last time I spoke to contacts within their management, there was no interest in establishing a formed 'base' at Cwl with resident management, staff pilots and cabin crew,engineering cover etc. ; however a nightstopping aeroplane was a possibility.
