The Q good as it is cannot go on much longer a modern replacement is vital and the A220 is ideal for the routes we have planned it will also fit well into the virgin brand
A apology from the doommongers when what i’ve stated proves to be factual over the next few days would be appreciated .....Ok it might not be 500 million it might only be 400 million but none the less....

Im not purporting to be a financial wizard but i do have contacts in the know and i can assure you the loan is in the bag and will be announced very shortly and it is a sizeable investment that is a fact.....

And on the other hand - might not be great timing...

Also, how would it look if the airline collapsed at the very moment we exited the EU.

Perhaps more crucially Dom the prince of the political black arts is a champion of flybe , One of the reasons the cash is as good as in bank account .....

Brigantee, honestly are you ever going to give up?
You realise all of this will be thrashed out between the owners in faceless high rise offices. The hedge fund, Stobart PLC, and Virgin Atlantic. None of this will be happening in Exeter (and certainly not BHX). You can claim to be as well connected as you like, but only the very impressionable are buying it.
UPDATE
I stand corrected. I've just seen Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson, Andrea Leadsom, Grant Shapps, and Sir Richard Branson come out of the Birmingham Ramp Office. They said they've had a productive morning and they can't wait to meet Brigantee this afternoon to get his seal of approval before they announce a £5bn takeover of Flybe tomorrow.
