As far as I know there haven’t been any changes. I was BMI, and I know handful of people went to Flybe. BMI was jet, so the majority of ex employees went to Loganair on the Embraer, or to BA CityFlyer. Dribs and drabs went to Ryanair, Thomas Cook, etc. Sadly, Flybe didn’t jump-in quick enough to actively recruit ex BMI crew, so most had already been swallowed up by Loganair and BA CityFlyer by the time they’d acted. Shame, because their Manchester, Birmingham and Exeter bases would have been extremely attractive to ex BMI crew.
