No point getting outraged....
if you want loyalty buy a dog, don't expect any from an airline.
I worked for bmir when they had the 146, 60 guys made redundant in a moment....none ever invited to transfer to the EMB. Still I had a decent severance cheque.
I have recently worked for an airline that was flying for bmi (can you guess ?) on 'midhaul ' stuff. the reaction from some of the bmi guys was somewhat 'frosty' when we started. Then last year along came all these wide eyed people with 2 shiny stripes and deep pockets.....so the bmi guys had a new target in the crewroom !
it's every man for himself in this game, and everyone fights to protect their position. I didn't feel any animosity to the PTF people, more sympathy that in the race to the bottom this is what they had been reduced to doing.
