....And if EZY push Flybe off the Island, you can be sure the fares will rocket. Not only that but if that cuts demand, they'll cut back to once daily on quieter days too. No-one will dare compete with them and there's not a chance they'll base aircraft here or hire the local crews.

I reckon they are making £8 or so on each pasenger, probably less on the lead in fares, so even full flights can't be covering the costs.

Flybe did play a bit hard on Eastern's BHX, granted, but EMX sank themselves, despite Flybe giving them the LCY route!

Oh, and if Europe recovers so that their Intra European routes come back, where will the aircraft come from and which UK routes will they pull?

EZY are working Flybe over because they are full of spare capacity due to the European implosion. They are sweating the next one down the food chain. Just business, eh.....
