Mav, you said Flybe wouldn't operate into lhr, I pointed out they do. Welcome aboard this SN brussels flight operated today by Flybe ☺So yes Flybe do operate into lhr. Although do agree cant see it ever happening on a pure Flybe service! As for virgin, wingo I agree with your logic however would bet BA would see it as taking premium traffic away from premium long haul routes so not like it. In the same way long haul and euro routes were always made "less competitive" from Bhx and man. Leading to a ten year withdrawal from the regions. Shame as it would be a nice earner for Flybe.
