To be honest, I would also be surprised if the Cityhopper F50s were indeed allocated to LCY, but maybe I'm too much of a pessimist!

If they were cutting one of the Scottish destinations then DND would be the logical choice. But if they cut that then I can see them totally ditching their partnership with ScotAirways for the lease of the Dorniers. In that case would it be possible for ScotAirways to resurrect the route themselves?
The DND flights are still bookable well into 2009. Is there a source claiming they're planning on scrapping a Scottish destination? I remember reading somewhere CityJet confirming their commitment to Scotland saying something like as they're an Irish airline they have a natural affinity with Scotland (then again ScotAirways is English).
