To be unkind but this is my opinion, FlyBe have probably been on to a loser for some time. They are in a VERY narrow niche and with the recession likely to run another 5+ years, the chances of making it were always going to be slender. I hope they make it as they are a nice crowd (the few times I've used them) and I think their approach valid. Just, not so much in this era.

I suspect it's more a question of How and When they stop, rather than If. Again, my apologies but they are being squeezed by the big boys above and the coach and the train and the sheer lack of money on the other.
