Bfs hasn't seen a succession of carriers, like Bhd has who have been poached down to Bhd and then failed, only for Flybe to pick up the pieces and be stood on again. I think it is pretty scandalous the way Bhd has behaved over the last few years. But yet another example of maybe a bad decision all over a few pieces of silver. Except BHD seems to be like a mirage in the desert, when you get there, you realise that the promised silver isn't there.

Last month, Bhd to Edi had about 10k pax. We are told that Ei is going on that route with an airbus. How is that going to work? Is Ezy going to stand by and watch? Ei will only generate volume by cutting fares to the bone, what then about yield? In a fares war, who will be best placed to stick it out? Ezy has the largest pockets. Flybe the smaller planes so will lose less. Ei?

I have a huge interest in economics and the one thing I see all the time, many in large bussinesses, is bad decisions. Here is another one coming if this move takes place.
