It doesn't matter what you pay a prop captain, people will still leave. Pilots want to fly a jet, simple as that.
All that flybe are doing are advertising the fact they DON'T have a clue what they are doing. If they did they wouldn't try to hold Pilots with offers of 50K and non reducing bonds. Simply put if they were a good company pilots would never leave. In the last 12 months they have had to recruit over 130 pilots. With a total of 330 that is shocking. Allow an extra 30 for expansion makes it embarisingly shocking. 50 grand for an Airline captain is shocking as well. I can get a job at Lever Brothers on a Continental shift (4 on 4 off) and get paid 52 grand!! Wake up boys and smell the coffee.
