So looks like the BE/T3 franchise agreement is dissolving. BE, thought they could come in to the Scottish islands and ride roughshot over loganair but failed. Went up against easyJet on Newcastle to Belfast and failed due to extensively high fares. IOM, from Belfast at £232 return. Jesus wept.

LBA-SOU route is reduced down 2x daily with an early morning and evening rotation from June onwards. In between duties it would seem the Saab 2000 aircraft sits on deck at LBA for most of day.

I don’t believe that T3 ever intended, nor were required to, paint there aircraft in full BE colours. The quote below is taken from this press release that was issued when BE & T3’s partnership was first announced.
EASTERN AIRWAYS AND FLYBE TO FORM AN ALLIANCE Eastern Airways
I think the small Flybe stickers applied to some Eastern aircraft will be all the Flybe branding that the rest of the fleet are likely to receive.
EASTERN AIRWAYS AND FLYBE TO FORM AN ALLIANCE Eastern Airways
As part of the franchise partnership, Eastern Airways routes will operate with Flybe’s BE flight codes. Eastern Airways livery will be retained on its aircraft for scheduled services and the carrier’s ad-hoc charter services and corporate shuttle operations.

That's a blow to Stornoway who have just got an increase up to 2 flights a day. And a blow to Wick with the loss of the early morning and late evening return flights and I assume the closure of Wick as a base

What annoys me most is the complete lack of communication from the airline. Resulting in people poking around online timetables to try to determine what is happening to their routes.
why fly any other way? | Eastern Airways
Last update was "Aberdeen-London City route to be operated by Eastern Airways". Last update on Twitter was October 2017. Perhaps the Communications Manager is incommunicado?

If it were just 1 or 2 routes being reduced or dropped, i would let it slide, but i agree with you El Bunto, the scale of this reduction should provide more of an explanation.
Any of the fleet due for renewal or scrap? could be a reason?
