If Flybe did ever turn to Embraer for an all jet fleet, how would that affect some of its key routes such as those to and from GCI? I assume if the E195 can operate 'in good weather' the smaller version would not pose any problems?

I would like to see Flybe expand a little more myself and feel they are missing out on some good opportunities. For example the Channel Islands have a large Portugese population yet only SATA operate in the summer whereas I am sure Flybe could support a service even if that is seasonal as well.

Poland seems to be an ever flourishing destination with some airports have a number of destinations thanks to Wizz. Could Flybe make a success anywhere with some of these outside of London?

Newquay seems to have died off a bit with only EDI and LGW. Could BE not jump into bed a bit more with Loganair and get a Saab down there. I am sure this could be filled on some routes in and out of Cornwall especially during the summer.
