G'day whatsup32, Ref my 10378 & yr 10379:- I opened the short @ 3.35p and closed @ 2.8p. I missed the 4p mark (intended short level), and closed too early (feared admin). The spread at the time was somewhat irrelevant. Based upon your theory of 20% (open price would be 4.02p, to carry that forward, I shorted at the top)! Not exactly true, but a comforting thought. cheers

Like with Flybe, flybmi has hardly made a profit in any years of operation, even when owned by Lufthansa where able to get flybmi into profit and therefore this increase in cardon crdit is just an excuse by the management for their failings

Has Tinkler pointed out Stobart is cash flow negative? LOL

Flybmi also cited an increase in carbon credit costs as a reason for its downfall. Extract from DT article on FlyBMI "Airlines must purchase carbon credits to offset their emissions. Until very recently the cost was subsidised through a free allocation of such credits by European authorities. Glen Flannery, a partner at law firm CMS, said that a decision from Brussels to exclude UK companies from their allocation of carbon credits ahead of Brexit played a part in the airline's downfall and could be the root of broader problems for British businesses. “The European Commission has started to implement its ‘no deal’ Brexit contingency plans. With effect from Jan 1 has temporarily suspended the UK’s free allocation of carbon allowances, auctioning, and the exchange of international credits," he said. "This has created a huge amount of uncertainty for UK participants, the full effects of which have yet to play out.”

Whatsup, a lot of the historical losses were due to having the wrong planes, expensive leases, the Finnish venture, excessive central overheads etc. If you take the basic business of flying domestically from Exeter in 20 year old turboprops then it performed pretty well with good load factors which I guess is the point Tinkler is making. Second half cash flow was always going to be horrific. The interim results announcement contained all the detail - you just had to understand it or bother to read it.

https://www.ft.com/content/1b7f8d34-3141-11e9-8744-e7016697f225 Mr Tinkler said ‘ Flybe’s problem was cash flow rather then underlying poor performance’ Really ? Then explain why they have consistently lost money over the past 10 years and persistently needed outside money.

I am fascinated to know why this remains above 1p

[minerve] 18/2/2019 08:59

mhin2 I think you are forgetting that it is Stobart that is buying the worthwhile ashes of Flybe and not the other way around. LOL

Davidpines, "Flyb have ceased trading"" No, it's Flybmi that have ceased trading, a different airline: UK regional airline Flybmi ceases operations See: Https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47267901 That's not to say that Flybe don't have problems but shareholders are going to get 1p per share ... JakNife
