You mean evidence other than CityFlyer ordering 15 brand new aircraft, starting their own MPL cadet scheme and a 41% increase in PAX numbers last year despite the reccession?
Evidence of a growing business, but not necessarily a profitable one.

V_2 not having a dig and meant as some light-hearted banter. I think you could be very right, Flybe had already been at LCY and perhaps this business was a better fit for the BA model than that of Flybe, but I would certainly say that that the bun fight between Cityflyer and Cityjet will have been a costly one, made somewhat easier for Cityflyer to win with the Embraer coming into the fleet.
