er82,
You've only been in the company a month longer than me so that still puts you in the newbie catagory in my opinion anyway.
Were all newbies until we have a green book of our own.
Why Why Why do people continue to slag of flybe and the pay, as excrab said, the thought of flying a D-8-300 a couple of years ago would of had you wetting your pants. We all new what the deal was when we joined and I for one still love my job, I've just bought a house next to the sea have money in the bank and have a command in the pipe-line soon.
Some people dont know how lucky they are, think of the guys working for companys like Emerald flying HS748's round all night for £14000. they are the hard up ones not us. Keep it in perspective.
