I have a horrendous feeling about the seniority lists - if (no, don't laugh!!!) BACON had bought Flybe, would YOU give up your place on the list, and maybe your course or Emb 170 command to one of the new pilots? I doubt it. You'd say, with some justification that they should be grateful for a job.
Similarly the salaries etc. I believe we're paid more, quite a bit more. How can that possibly continue? Flybe not un-naturally will not want their new acquisition to lose money. It will be all change I think,but anything to escape the dead hand of BA.
What I really want is to be a fly on the wall of Hutchings / Deacon / Phelan's next interview.
They may just all be about to discover that it really DOES pay to be nice to people on the way up - 'cos you may meet them on the way down.....and OUT!
