Couldn't agree with you more. I wonder if it is joining too many dots together but EDI is losing its BACF base and BHD is gaining BACF including a night stop.
Brian did seem confident of majority of BE routes been taken up.

Have to take your word on that, never really monitored when these announcements are made. Question is, are these announcements plural or singular? Harbour boss did announce on twitter to expect plural over the next few weeks which ends this Friday. Options are limited, more Eastern routes, more Loganair routes and the possibility of Lingus Regional. Destinations still to be guessed at I suppose although again I believe the Harbour CEO is on record as having said all previous FlyBe routes had been backfilled. Interesting times!
Whatever the announcements happen to be, I hope it goes some way to securing jobs both within the airport and locally. Have to admit I still feel sorry for the ex FlyBe personnel watching "their" old market getting carved up, still think its a shame that ended how it did.

There could be some tieup with Stobart Air and Eastern Airways. Seeing that there is a tieup with Loganair and Blue Islands.
Not sure if it happens what agreement will be. Could be lease of 4 ATR 72s and 2 E190s and also run the 4 Belfast routes for Stobart Air.

Would I be correct to guess that this expansion is all Stobart trying to snap up Flybe's profitable routes.
Problem is Stobart do not have a recognisable brand so they have chosen to work with the Aer Lingus Regional brand which is a no brainer with their existing Aer Lingus partnership.

It will happen. Unfortunately it’s not much use for the ex Flybe crew because Stobart have enough of their own lot they put under redundancy to bring up north. They might hire a few token cabin crew and a few jobs is better than no jobs.
Aer Lingus want Stobart off their patch in DUB so EI can fly the flights themselves as they’re struggling for work too.

I’m fairly confident Aer lingus have no interest in flying the likes of dublin Newquay themselves, or any of the other stobart routes - that’s just not the case.
Aer lingus Grant stobart the franchise and they are very involved in the operation. I’m fairly confident the arrangement with stobart works very well for both companies.
