I don't know if it is due to poor management, CEOs stealing money in the form of bonuses, poor internet integration, poor government, lack of advertising, or something else.
Whatever the cause, it is an absolute disgrace.
My sincere sympathies to all in Flybe - some of whom are former colleagues. Keep your chins up and good luck.

Uplinker - name the last big AOC that started in the UK?
The last one i can remember albeit a medium one was Cargologicair but they have gone also.
In my XX year airline career I've worked for 9 different UK Airlines, anyone who know's me think i'm the kiss of death. The number of UK AOC's have dwindled significantly, many really struggled as they didn't have a level playing field on Flight Time Limitations but let's not go there. They didnt have bonus schemes either.
Just a sad state of affairs. Unfortunately, the pilot job cycle has gone from great to crap in one swoop.
