CY landed 16:37 Amsterdam on 16th not moved since
TB landed 22:33 Amsterdam on 16 not moved since
BA landed 00:12 Belfast Aldergrove early hours of 17th and appears not to have moved
OE - only started on the BHX-AMS due out 10:30 but left 11:26 just got back from BHD a bit late
Quite incredible really but on the bright side they operated 07:00 BHX-BHD on time compared to EI Regional who cancelled their first two flights and first BHX-BHD departed 16:07

According to Flightradar 24 today isn't looking much better either:
6 out of 14 departures from BHD cancelled
1 out of 3 from NQY cancelled
2 out of 2 from NCL cancelled
plus obviously the return flight of those. If people are claiming compensation there is no way they can be making money at the moment and it must be costing a fortune.

My wife booked a flight to go from SOU to BHD for next Friday. After booking the times were changed but the same day. This happened 3 times then followed by a cancellation notice. Refund takes up to 90 days, so she’s has tried to speak with them 3 times on the phone but gave up after 1 hour 8 minutes in the queue. She’s has now booked with another airline for the same day.

Poimtless going up against the likes of BA and KL at Heathrow (AMS, BHD, and NCL). Business and regular pax may be collecting points and miles on the Executive Club, Flying Blue, etc., and be reluctant to change.
Maybe routes with no competition would be better, BUT it's no good if nobody knows about them. Is it not necessary to advertise and promote these routes ruthlessly? This is particularly important on LHR routes as "the connections to the world" angle can be used as well.

I'm lost for words. And also saddened, as I never went along with the 'flymaybe' tag that was unfairly applied to flybe mk1.
I hate to say this as people's livelihoods are at stake, but this company does not deserve to survive.

Correct - but if you then cancel them you might as well just not bother -as with Jensdad I find this incredibly depressing

If you want to taunt me I will take appropriate action

Yes, Flybe have had too many of late, but the record of other regionals (Emerald and Eastern especially spring to mind) is not a lot better of late.
