An interesting comment from one of my fellow aviators and past Flybe Captain...
Interesting! It was pretty well known in the early days of Flybe, that the Walker family, who then owned it, had decided on a cynical plan to build the Airline up by ordering large numbers of new aircraft & introducing large numbers of new routes which would make the Airline attractive on the Stock Exchange & they would sell once the share price had gotten high enough.
This is exactly what happened, & this is why Flybe has been an Airline struggling to exist ever since.
Flybe is unfortunately doomed to failure, due to the cynical conning of the stock market by the Walker family.
End of story .
Sad for the employees!
