Thankyou trotts for confirming what many of us already think of FlyBe. Its patently obvious that there won't be anything like enough jet seats for those of us already flying BACON 146's and Embraers. I'm pretty sure they will be reserved for the boys at the top of the FlyBe seniority list.
So what are we looking at? Sitting in the RHS of a trash 8? I don't think so. I'm not going to throw away 2500 hours of medium jet experience to go and work for a dead end company.
I don't see that TUPE will work. I'm sure that FlyBe simply can't afford it. And even if we were to be promoted within Flybe, I'm sure their turbo prop Captains pay is little better than what we already pay our jet F/O's.
The only way is out!
