Perhaps the fairest way would be no 1 Flybe senior pilot, then No 1 Bacon pilot, No2 Flybe, No 2 Bacon etc etc. What Flybe pilots would certainly fight over would be a list that stops the prospect of progression onto the 195 or RH seat of the Q400 due to shouts of "we already have jet experience".
I am sure that, with thoughtful management of the merger, these issues can be addressed fairly. We see.........

Sorry, man but dream on.
This is no merger it's a takeover. FlyBe are in charge and they'll look after their own first. They'll want to make shure the newco keeps the flyBe not the BA culture so guys, sorry, but don't dream of equal treatment.
They'll use you if they need you and you toe the line. Fail on either and it's out..
Thats L:ife -to the victor the spoils and all that..
