Maybe, but they're giving Flybe less than the cost of 1 x new A330 and if it does the trick they'll gain 7 or 8 long haul aircraft from the takeover as well as achieving the objectives you specify. None of us are doing anything other than speculate here but the water is definitely not crystal clear whichever perspective you're coming from.
