Ah well I was at the Soton PC yesterday and here's the dope FlyBE will launch dailies from Soton to Milan and Geneva, twice dailies to Dublin and Belfast City and have at least three times daily to Jersey from March. In October they'll add Bacelona and Nice. And at dates yet specified Brussels, Copenhagen, Lyon, Toulouse, Edinburgh and Glasgow the routes will be operated using either Q400s or 146s (except Jersey which will stay Dash 8-300 until some more Q400s arrive).
Fleet wise all the exsisting Dash 8s plus the CRJs are for the chop and will be replaced with Q400s exactly how many Q400s is dependant on the deal they negotiate with Bomb on swopping the CRJs for Qs

Oh yeah forgot to mention the plan calls for up to 10 a/c to be based at Soton so I guess there will be a Soton crew base.
