Could someone please clarify. The E95 currently have 9 in fleet, 3 going to Stobart in June '18, thus leaving 6 with Flybe. However discussion from above posts suggest that this summer will be down to 3 total (are a further 3 being returned from lease)?

When you look at BE's route network, outside of the business routes it's a bit random.
French routes are mainly served by MAN, BHX and SOU.
Italy is a mixture;
FCO - CWL only
MXP - MAN, BHX, CWL, SEN
VRN - CWL, SOU
VCE - CWL only
Germany;
HAM - BHX only
TXL - DSA, BHX, CWL
DUS - LBA, MAN, BHX, LCY, CWL, SOU
CGN - SEN only
HAJ - MAN, BHX
STR - BHX only
MUC - CWL only
SEN has a good mixture of longer routes, granted these are Stobart routes.
Aside from SEN, CWL stands out as having the most routes operated from there but not from the other bases. BE surely have the right sized aircraft for regional flying to some of these other destinations.
When you look at the SEN routes operating to further away - Croatia, PRG, BUD, VIE, these could be further routes and markets to expand in.

With airports like SOU, DSA and EXT i wonder if a future strategy could be looking at Italy for routes like Rome and Venice and for CWL look at France and Eastern Europe.
With the others maybe more focus on domestic routes and AMS, DUS and CDG with the Q400s.

SENs longer routes are outliers in more ways than one; the purpose of them is perhaps at least as much to demonstrate the capabilities of the airport than anything else.
The European business-ish type routes look less random if you consider the (general) absence of competition and size of the markets for business / leisure. They are all routes of a general nature of somewhere just above BMI type routes in terms of potential business / leisure volume. They have neither enough potential business traffic to attract the flag carrier from the other end nor enough potential leisure traffic to attract a loco, but enough of both to ensure they could compete against BMI style prices and loco style frequencies.

Any further information on the shambles of the BHX operation today?
One day after a Dash departs to operate for SAS the BHX operation goes - well nowhere. One or two cancellations happen but seven!
BE501 JER 07.15
BE402 BHD 08.35
BE786 GLA 10.40
BE653 NOC 11.25
BE107 AMS 15.25
BE847 EDI 15.40
BE794 GLA 19.00
I assume tech going by reports of the MAEL apron at BHX.
No money for subbing aircraft in then?

Cheers for the info but I am even more confused as the one aircraft was fog related but wouldn't that free it up and help even more with the tech aircraft as it could not have been weather at AMS, BHD, EDI, GLA, AMS & NOC surely?

Rumour has it that Stobart Air are planning a 100% takeover of Flybe...
Stobart Group confirms interest in Flybe (FLYB) deal as shares in the airline rise 36 per cent | City A.M.

Which was announced yesterday and it has been discussed in great detail on the Stobart thread. I find it strange that it has taken over 36 hours for this news to have finally appeared on the Flybe thread!

How’s it going down.......
Some are convinced that if it happens then base closures and redundancies.
Some are more philosophical and think it’s what the company needs.
Some are hoping that Exeter gets sorted out and restructured.
Some are running around topless, in a frenzied panic screaming for Jesus.
