Well said Alpha Charlie...
It seems that some people want to negotiate the deal down the drain as if that is better than working for Flybe, there are not 450 pilot jobs to be had out there, so the majority of us are going to be joining Flybe, or the dole queue if the deal falters. I for one am quite pleased about the proposed deal, and there are plenty in the crew room at Manchester that are, the prospect of being able to bid for a base closer to home is a real plus in my book and also to work for an organisation that has one clear objective in life, to be a lo cost regional operator, without the constraints of a restrictive corporation. It is going to be refreshing to work for an outfit that are buying new aircraft, that are expanding routes and developing bases - a real change.
