To put it bluntly, most of the senior managers are c$£p. They care little for the welfare of the staff, terms and conditions are rubbish with morale at a low ebb, little wonder they have a high staff turnover.
Look at the equipment, it might be new but the dash goes tech quite often as it is built down to a price (I know because I`ve flown the damned thing and would be seriously worried if I had to fly in a 10 year old airframe given the number of controlled crashes that pass as landings as it`s a tricky beast to put down.) So let`s just hope that the Embraer-which is pretty much un tried in airline service-doesn`t suffer teething troubles.
Worth £200,000.000? more like £20,000,000, on a good day, as it`s only the staff that are keeping the ship afloat-some might say.
Flybe has to be the worst airline that I`ve worked for and couldn`t wait to get out. But for those still at the coal face, the grass really is greener outside of Exeter.
Good luck
