Integrated for the quality of training, and the possibility of referrals and mentoring opportunities.

Back to Flybe. Historically I honestly believe Jersey European existed as a means to Legally "launder" money (purely metaphorically speaking) via expensive aircraft leases out to the offshore bases of the paper companies who owned most of the aircraft.

With a lot of the Q400s and the E195s this historical flaw is one of their big hurdles to recovery. The Republic Q400s are a good step, and the sooner they get out of the E195s and the expensive Q400s run out of lease and can be re-acquired on better terms the sooner their cost base will become manageable.

Ham Salad, certainly has one hand tied behind his back, as did Jim before him. LHR is a gon starter, as they costs are even more than at LGW, who drove Flybe out of the airport and very nearly out of business altogether....
