How has that situation been allowed to develope? Surely the tax man would have noticed the lack of income from this airline?
Pretty shocking, but very poor senior management at Flybe has been a way of life for quite a few years now.
Sadly, the people at the coalface, who mostly provide great service, and the Customers (many of whom no doubt do rely on the "lifeline" nature of some of BEE's services) will be the ones to suffer if a solution can't be found.
For the sake of all of the latter I hope it can.
