Once again Flying Fiona - you are talking complete and utter B******* let me correct on a few of your as usual INCORRECT statment's.
1 - the flt op's director WAS NOT forced to leave - he has taken early retirement due to his wife being extreamly ill and he want's to spend as much time with her as he can !!
2 - The average in Op's and Crewing is NOT as you state 18 - it is closer to 25-30 with some older than that - and you can not ask for a finer bunch of people to work with than them - especially when complete and utter Asses like you think i cant be bothered to go into work today as thewy cant cope with the job they do.
Remember it is them that have to sort out the mess as a consequence of YOUR actions in order to get all of our passenger's flown to where they want to be.
To anyone considering Joining Flybe - i reccomend totally ignoring anything Flying Fiona writes as this person writes total and utter tosh.
Yes you will work hard if you join Flybe - but that is the nature of the lo-cost airline industry, you will find the same if you were to join easy,ryanair,jet2 or thompsonfly.
I have worked for the company for the last 6 years (5 1/2 of them in Op's - so i know what go's on in there FF !! ) the last 6 month's i have transferred to the flying side flying the Dash8 and have enjoyed every minute of it - but as i said it is hard work !!
ER82 or should i say Miss Whiplash - how's it going ?? how's the 320 ??
