Listen, I don't purport to be an expert but with the greatest will in the World no one can turn a profit using 50 seat RJ's. Even the regionals in America are getting rid of these blackholes.
The bottom line therefore is that whoever takes this on will need to invest in a new fleet sharpish. Something the biggest airline in Europe was not prepared to do, not to mention that 'Granite' evidently don't even have the 2 pennies to rub together that BA would take for it.
Good luck to all the staff though, I hope something comes up
