FlyBe to acquire BA Connect (Crew thread - no spotters)
I understand that this is being announced to the crews arriving at work as I type. More news when it eventally gets put on the intranet.
Assuming that it will be a TUPE trannsfer, but does this cover the FS pension? There is plan in place to fix this but will Flybe take it on? Obviously, we will all try and put this to the back of our minds as we fly around serving the BACON product today.
Shame for one or two good managers who are likely to loose their positions. One bit of good news though, no more DE and BE, golden parachutes deployed and back into the mothership or early retirement with share options exercised.
Well done BA, a perfectly viable regional airline destroyed in four years.
Very convenient vheicle for using to remove BAR from the equation.
