NG FNG,
I think the only people who "know" the answer to your question probably don't post on Pprune. These would be Flybe's top level managers and HR team.
There will be plenty of people willing to speculate though and if you've read the first four pages of the thread, you will know how useless speculation can be. The aircraft orders coming out of Farnborough this week are encouraging, but they won't be delivered tomorrow and quite a few are replacements for aging planes.
