I worked for Monarch and regularly the management would gather us together for the usual pep talk/threat. They would warn us that if things didn't improve we would all be out of a job!!!
The facts are that the only people that will be out of a job if the likes of Monarch or FLS "change ownership" (because they won't close) will be the s***e managers that caused all the problems in the first place.
There aren't enuf of us to go around.
A pal recently rang me very worried about his future with Brittania due to the takeover and I said to him what I say to all you FLS boys and girls "look forward to the change of name over the door and the new colour of overalls, it can only improve!"
