No, I'm not a management pilot. Just a normal line pilot that's been f"£$%^ about as much as most.
I'm not sure what you mean by "pig" - I'm new to this regional stuff. Do you mean 146? Flybe doesn't need 146 pilots, it needs Q400 pilots, and lots of them. If all the jet pilots walk, I guess they'll just operate the routes they can, ie the ones that are profitable, and bin the rest.
In the future it's not going to be a combined company. It's going to be Flybe. What the T's and C's end up like is anyones guess - good I hope. But in the end that largely depends on how the 2 CC's negociate; ours on how you guys are absorbed and yours to cut the best deal for ex BA Connect pilots. A thankless task as there will always be someone out there that'll accuse them of not having their interests at heart.
I'm sure everyone in BA Connect wishes they'd been able to stay with what they had and the company had gone from strength to strength. However, WW decided that wasn't going to be and you all got screwed. Flybe's a business and they can be ruthless if need be. Ultimately, whatever the final outcome is, you can bet your bottom dollar that it'll benefit them, and not necessarily you and me.
