I see your point, but the statement does seem to be interpretable from the other angle too.

If BFS felt the need to issue that statement, they are clearly very very bitter about something.
No business relationship is one sided.

Which is why BHD seem incredibly short-sighted in angering its best customers.
By that I mean, not just Flybe, but Flybe's customers, who seem a fairly loyal bunch. Flybe have fairly decent schedules to several destinations where the competition competes only on price. Gatwick, Edinburgh for example. Aer Lingus are NEVER going to match those schedules, but they will force Flybe to ramp down their schedules. the end result will be THREE airlines flying to the SAME destinations, ALL with cr@p infrequent schedules.
Just where is the benefit?
My wife and I moved from BFS-LGW to BHD-LGW for the better schedules. Looks as if we are back up the road again!

Looks like the last desperate act of an airline that is destined for a slow slide to oblivion. Or a quick one if MOL gets his way.
