Admittedly Flybe's management should be reassuring their colleagues at this time, which for all we know actually may have done. They should however too do so to the public / passengers, as whilst they may probably know different and just brush off the rumours and negativity of their financial situation, the media is ridiculously powerful on winning peoples minds.
Again, as far as I am aware management have done just that - albeit “not the best response”
People really should put more consideration into posting into public forums, comments are taken way way out of context and hearsay becomes fact.. this can quickly create problems. And has, lots of staff going through unessceasy stress - despite those of us that have seen this all before reassuring them.
The modern world and online anonymity.
