I’m normally a reader, rather than a write on PPRUNE. However, I thought I’d just say a couple of things. I worked for FLYBE before coming to GB and I do appreciate that things have changed even in my short time with the company, but compared to FLYBE this place is fantastic. I never had roster stability and got called off all my stand-by’s and these could be for ANY base on the network. I’ve spent many a night in Northern Island Billy no mates wondering if this was what I signed up for at flight school. But I kept remaindering myself they gave me my break, so it was not all bad.
Also the people are 99.99% very approachable at GB and that goes for everyone. I do not like these early starts and late finishes more than you, but I also do not think the grass is that much greener next door. With these changing conditions comes choice, but I still would be careful before I jumped!
Good luck to you all – let hope our Balpa CC starts communicating better, since everything is rumour at GB and this is not an ideal way of communication.
