I only wish we could submit a question for Evans's Q & A list on the BAConnect Intranet site. Given that he and his team have rubbished Jersey/British European/flybe at every staff forum I have been to (we dont believe their figures, the numbers dont stack up, their cash is running out...etc) I am intrigued as to why suddenly this basket case company now saddled with our supposedly loss making airline and our unsuitable fleet is now the best thing since sliced bread. My question is David - were you lying through your teeth then, or are you lying to us now ? How this inept individual stayed in post I will never know. 2 lean, mean profitable regional airlines trashed by mismanagement, waste (touring rosters ????, multiple nightstops, taxis here there and everywhere), inability to respond to changing market conditions until it was too late and letting go profitable operations (eg PLH-LGW to Southwest, ABZ-LSI to Loganair), the list is endless. BA - we didnt deserve what you did to us and you sure as hell didnt deserve the great people you messed around. To those of us at the pointy end and our fellow crew members in the cabin, this will be hard, but flybe at least have a grasp of what it takes to run a regional airline. They have done what CitiExpress should have done and might have achieved if we had the right management in place. To our colleagues like the ground staff at BRS and many others throughout the network who are soon to be out of a job, my heart goes out to you.
