Just passing on what info I have heard, but if and I hope not, yours is the attitude of all flybe pilots then I think come March many regional airports will be making a lot of money in parking fees when over half the combined flybe fleet is grounded!
If we are all sensible and work together we have a chance to build an excellent company that will be a pleasure to be part of.
So lets try and look at it from both sides for the common good. For the record it is not a complete take over if you read the small print BA will own 15% and have a member on the board! ie a controlling interest so flybe will effectively be part of the BA group. Which may bring the benefits such as staff travel, but may prevent expansion that effects the Mecca of LHR which was one of BACON’s major difficulties.
Of course this assumes the deal goes through! We will just have to see what happens in the coming months, and hopefully it will be a deal that also looks after all our colleagues on the ground who are at the moment faced with a very uncertain future.
