I'm amazed that FlyBE get any business
Stupid comment - 500 routes and you find one particularly expensive

Ive noticed for some time that LH are indeed cheaper to DUS than BE ex MAN. Bags drinks and a snack all included with LH
Book with LH then - not surprised that they have to lower their fares to try and claw back some business. They offer a better service but never use to be cheap, only when competition started up and people started to move over to BE. Now its vice versa BE will start reducing their fares and we are back to square 1 again

Bloomberg reporting that BMI regional sale to a UK based company agreed subject to certain "pre conditions".
This is interesting, certainly not heard anything on the grapevine yet. I dont know of many other UK carriers that may be in a position to acquire another airline. But, will BE want a fleet of E145s again it took a while to fully get rid of BAcons jets. Do BE have any Q400 options which they could use to replace the fleet if the sale did go ahead? (speculation of course)
