Don't see any mileage in this for the competition authority, yes the sale will give EZ near on 50% of all LGW slots, but Flybe want out, if the North of Scotland want flights to LGW then they should start by binning APD that has done so much damage to Flybe, let them drive or catch the train or add flights to the growing list of subsides that keeps Scotland living in dream land at the expense of London.
Flybe is caught between a rock and a hard place, it cannot compete with the likes of Easy, FR but its scale of operations is to big to be a niche operator like bmir or Eastern, i see major cuts going forward, the going rate for a flight A 2 B across Europe is probably no more than £80 unless your at a major hub (or need to be) £80 doesn't get you far with Flybe
