A good friend of mine worked on the maintenance side and this has now gone public:
We are the former Flybe aviation engineers of the South West, and we believe there is a future in keeping the engineering, maintenance & repair services alive.
We believe we CAN fix it!
Over 300 skilled aviation engineers available in Exeter, Devon to get started now! Experienced in Line, C-check and A-check maintenance.
Proven track record of on time hand backs and a long list of satisfied customers.
Establishing a maintenance and repair operation in the SW would ensure jobs for the current skilled workforce and secure livelihoods of their families. Over and above, it would allow for training and apprenticeship programs to continue and secure the future skilled engineers of the SW!
Please share to support our efforts!
They really want a make a go of this and quite rightly too
