Eastern '76' flight numbers

Is this not likely to be in preparation for switch to BE rather than T3 prefix, re forthcoming Flybe franchise, i.e. to then become BE76xx? Loganair's Flybe franchise flights used a 66xx to 69xx sequence, and Blue Islands utilise 63xx to 65xx. 76xx seems like a resonable option for Eastern, and doesn't conflict with any other Flybe flight no sequences? Any thoughts?
