I can imagine the jobs in the 100-job region would be from BA Connect's head offices in Manchester and on the Isle of Man, potentially also flybe would have to decide whether they want to maintain ground handling inhouse, or whether they'll move everything to a handling agent. On the other hand, I think most flight deck and cabin crew would be maintained to service flybe's aggressive expansion programme. Nice to see that there will now be a focused & expansive regional operator, though it will be a shame to see the BA livery disappear from the regions, and potentially some of the benefits of flying BA Connect like Executive Club benefits which is a major selling point for the airline.
