A few years ago when Flybe acquired the BAConnect routes off the island they
did to Euromanx what is happening to them now
Totally agree with this; Flybe are good at flexing their muscle with smaller airlines e.g. Manx2, and weaker rivals, e.g. bmibaby, and Manx2 where possible e.g. Flybe brand getting onto BHD IOM few years ago to wipe Manx2 off the map. Equally the power that BE hold at some airport e.g. SOU and EXT, BHD was nearly headed the same way and it seems with the first 2 examples that BE will flex their muscle for dominance.
However, I suppose the same goes for all airlines, they weigh up the strenght of the competition and act accordingly.
