Virgin have just announced a partnership with easyjet to feed into there longhaul operation ..... you would think they would offer some support to the new flybe since they pulled the plug on it March 2020. What a kick in the teeth hey!!!
How much did Virgin lose on the original BE deal?

Virgin never had any emotional investment in Flybe - and any new Flybe is going to have to be so different from the last one it really doesn't impact

Well so far folk have announced that bhd and manch are on the cards for flybe....and guess what that's where virgin are partnering with easy!!!! and for the one who quoted virgin had no emotional attachment to flybe. Well I hope you never get made redundant overnight and get dumped on!!! Virgin tried there hand at shorthaul flying with little red and failed and failed again with flybe. Only folk who have gone through redundancy will understand the mental strain it has had on people !!!!😡😡
Citirine _ i didn't say I agreed with what Virgin did with FlyBe - it was pretty disgraceful - my point is that Virgin have never really had any interest in Flybe and to assume they'd cut a deal with an airline which is not yet flying as opposed to EasyJet - which is - is not very likely.
I have been on the thick end of a couple of takeovers - I agree it's a very unpleasant and bruising experience which very adversely impacted the physical and mental health of a number of very close colleagues

From what I have seen on this website, I thought the relaunch of Flybe was due in March, presumably, at the start of the summer schedule - thus far all I’ve seen regarding this, is a shareholder wanting to offload his investment of £45 million before the proposed re start of the airline.
Surely, if the new Flybe was serious in starting up again in just a few weeks from now, there would have been a lot of press coverage regarding a start dates and routes etc. Have I missed something?

Over Christmas I did see some interesting posts on Linkedin from previous crew who have been rehired for Belfast bases. Haven't seen anything though for BHX. Liverpool airport also positing about the 'training' flights... maybe an easter egg?

I would imagine it would be closer to that or after given the current state of COVID. January is always a low months for Business / Regional travel and given the shear volume of COVID plus work from home recommendations not a lot travel is going on. Feb is also a quiet Month, so late Feb early to Mid March depending on COVID would make sense, the vast majority of people booked flybe like they would a train, at the last minute so theres no need for long lead in on route announcements.

If they're planning to launch soon, it would be sensible to coincide it with the start of the S22 season (27/28th March) and they'll perhaps want a 6-8 week lead-up time for initial bookings so any announcement will likely be made towards the end of January or in early February.
