Very true, no doubt there will be lots of people leaving Flybe leaving vacancies for new hires, trouble with that is if some of those leaving are Line Training Captains who will be well regarded elsewhere but are needed to put the new hires through their company training before releasing them as qualified line pilots. If there are no/ few LTCs then the new hires cannot progress so there are too few qualified crews to operate all the aircraft so aircraft get grounded, flights get cancelled, income falls but even hangered aircraft require expensive calendar based maintenance so the money problems escalate. Disgruntled customers have tickets for flights that are not happening so they go elsewhere, a decent reputation takes many years and lots of effort to build up but can be destroyed in no time at all, look at the Boeing reputation with the 737Max.
