Indeed I did; I've edited my post accordingly - thanks!
I would imagine that they may well have taken a slightly more cautious approach due to the outbreak of the Omicron variant and the potential threat of another lockdown coming in the New Year.
Other carriers such as Emerald Airlines announced the launch of their routes back in mid-December, however Eastern only announced the launch of LGW-NQY flights towards the end of November and those started in mid-December, although I do understand that this is a PSO-funded route.

So with Emerald announcing yesterday that they're establishing a base at BHD and looking to fly to EDI, GLA, BHX, MAN, EXT & LBA, where does this leave Flybe 2.0?
I thought that they're also thinking of a base at BHD and possibly even recruiting for positions; surely the market can't support both operators competing on the same route(s), can it? Perhaps BE are considering some other routes that Emerald are not currently looking to serve...i.e. CWL (if Eastern don't resume it), IOM and/or NWI perhaps?

Can’t say that a succession of attempts at BHD-LPL ever resulted in glowing success for Flybe Mk1!
Would seem to me if Emerald are looking to mop up viably competing regional routes into GB from BHD against EZY at BFS that Flybe would be much better served setting up shop in a few strategically separated mainland U.K. points (maybe Birmingham, Southampton, Glasgow??) and looking to use their equipment to operate a number of prospectively viable routes within the U.K. and Ireland and also into near European airports. But no doubt there is some great reality that I’m not aware of!

Can anyone confirm that these people really have a clause in their pilot employment contracts forcing you to accept unpaid leave whenever your employer decides that they might want to temporarily lay you off? I'm hearing some interesting tales about rates of pay but this one takes the biscuit. Or rather, doesn't take the biscuit as you'll have no income to buy any?

I'm not convinced. I've heard the exact same thing from two different people now, both of whom I'd trust to be right. That's certainly the way they have read the bit in question....

Hang on though @jamie2009 you can't just assume your own contract is the same as everyone elses! Cabin Crew Training Managers may not have the same clauses as Q400 pilots perhaps?

Mk1 made a mess of BHD- LPL. Mark 2 would have to do much better to compete with Easyjet. If they get it right, there is a demand there.

Flybe 2.0 start date?
Hi, do we know when Flybe 2.0 plan to start operations again? Has a date or rough time been announced?

Prediction :
If they don't commence in summer 2022 then they won't start at all.
