Probably not likely, though.

Wouldn’t rule it out could be something interesting if the estate was divided between bmi and Loganair. I think from a balance sheet perspective the group is quite strong and Loganair is constrained by lack of available aircraft and has an aging fleet... that and from a brand perspective - Loganair over Flybe every minute of every day...
Flybe would be an awfully big mouthful (in relative terms) to be digested by the combination of Loganair and bmi. Furthermore, Loganair has prospered by being a rather conservative airline - they are not known for taking great risks.
That said, I could see Loganair biting off a *chunk* of Flybe - perhaps taking on some aircraft, crew and the thinner routes from Scotland to airports in the rest of the UK which won't support double daily A320 service (most definitely not the ones to London)

I think if Flybe is carved up then BMI and Loganair will take a chunk if they can but taking on Flybe would be a mistake, especially inheriting a load of q400 aircraft when their move has been towards ATR.
Definetley reoresents an opportunity for the AIL group though I would think.

Do you have this on good authority?
I am sceptical about the success of 'regional' airline services from BOH because of the list of failures in the past and the inability to compete with the high frequency of flights at SOU. What seems to work at BOH is low cost as it appeals to a wider catchment area and is far less bothered about frequency. The higher fares of regionals reduce that potential customer base and make it unviable (for BOH).
BOH saw double daily services to Prestwick with Ryanair but the pax were all paying next to nothing. Flybe also tried double daily Glasgow flights that lasted less than a year before being consolidated at SOU.
The operators that have tried and failed with BOH-Scotland include:
Euroscot Express (1-11 and ATR-72), 55,000 pax to GLA (1997/8)
Gill Air (ATR-72/42), 29,000 pax to GLA (1999)
Ryanair (738) 120,000 pax to GLA and 80,000 pax to EDI (2003-2010)
Flybe (Q400) 33,000 pax (2015)
