I know BE/Flybe isn't going down the road of being a full Lo-co, but surely therein lies a danger? It's costs are still comparatively high and I wonder how they are going to combine being a semi low-cost carrier and operate aircraft which, frankly, are unsuitable for the kind of operation they are planning. How can you combine the fare structure they are planning and still make money flying Dash8s and 146s.
I am particularly curious to see how they're going to replace the RJX order cancelled last year. Might we see A319s? Anything else doesn't really make sense.
