Slot grab my arse
I think the slot grab was Plan A.
Ressurecting a defunct airline in a post pandemic world is Plan B.
You can imagine how many former passengers are still owed money by flybe....! What's the pitch to the formally loyal customers? £££

..does this mean transferred to it from the 'old' flybe's holding, or flybe 2 have re-applied for remedy slots and been allocated some from the BA/BD remedy 'pool'?
Obviously this doesn't make a whole lot of difference at LHR (other than that, in the latter scenario, flybe 2 would have less flexibility to be able to use those slots to serve other routings for 3 years), it is more of a fundamental question whether flybe 2 can get their hands directly on original flybe slot holdings elsewhere..

You're not going to get that until the airline is good and ready. If there are any new employees on PPRuNe they are, with total justification, keeping their fingers off their keyboards on the subject.

I believe that, alongside the remedy slots 'leased' from BA, some/all slots have been transferred from the 'old' Flybe.
From this article: https://www.business-live.co.uk/ente...h-new-21833195
Specifically the paragraph which reads as follows:

ACL, the company which coordinates slots at 46 airports, confirmed to Business Live that some landing slots had transferred from the original firm to the new Flybe company.
In June 2021 ACL said: “Following the revocation of the former Flybe’s operating licence, ACL confirms that the airline held no slots at UK or Irish airports at the time of the revocation, having transferred them to the new Flybe operation, to which the Flybe business was transferred in October 2020.”
It added: “ACL is not expecting any slots held by Flybe 2 to be returned. If they are, it will re-allocate them to other carriers.”

My understanding was these are the other slots MAN for example. The disputed BA slots went back to BA. The new Flybe can of course get them but will have to use them for the same period before they would keep them as before. Does anyone know if they did or are they leasing separate slots from BA?
