I really hope I am wrong but with increasing likeliness that Flybe will go bust, that leaves EDI with 2million seats gone. Also really sad for the staff and I will miss Flybe should they go.
I was wondering if someone like Loganair, Ryanair and EasyJet may pick up some routes should the worst happen.

I wonder if the Virgin/Stobart consortium might consider restarting as a new entity and taking on some of the more profitable routes?
Although having said that, with coronavirus impacting demand, now might be a bad time to be expanding. Perhaps the existing carriers will just enjoy the higher loads for the summer, and start thinking about expansion next year.

Ryanair wont - they dont operate any UK domestic flights. Easyjet will increase capacity on a number of routes, Loganair and Stobart will step in and take on a few new routes no doubt, if they have the spare capacity.

Incorrect.
Ryanair operate Edinburgh to Derry and Liverpool to Derry.
These routes are entirely within the United Kingdom

Who's going to operate the new Loganair routes? The same Estonian outfit that run their Carlisle operation? Or Eastern airways? 😂
Many of those ex flybe rotation are early morning ones. They'll need to move those 7 dash 8s first, beore someone else can park their planes overnight! Loganair have 1 overnight Saab 340 at the moment. That's it. (IIRC)

Either a really s*** attempt at a "funny" meme or some scumbag being malicious to cause unease and panic among people.
The quality of it is poor, it looks like a slapdash job on MS Paint.

It now appears it might not be completely true (for now) but it certainly isn’t “BS” either.

Lot 737
Currently LOT 737 SP-LWC finals 5o Edinburgh, wonder what that's about.
Given there would have normally have been FR from Warsaw Modlin and Whizz A321 from Warsaw Chopin

... and an A359 today. I'm not sure whether these are repatriation flights or perhaps they are predominantly carrying cargo given that cargo rates per kg have increased by many orders of magnitude in recent weeks due to COVID-19.

The fish farmers and shellfish producers are desperate for their exports to China and Japan to restart. I understand that the price of crabs and lobster has fallen to uneconomic levels.
