Ok so if Flybe are so good and there business plan and strategy are so strong why did Jim French get involved with the mess that is BACON? IF the Flybe product is so strong and your business strategy so good then why didnt Jimbo laugh in the face of BA when they came knocking on the door? It seems that you dont want our airframes, and you dont want some of our routes so what exactly did Jimbo want ? WELL could it be the assurance that BA are gonna throw a large amount of cash Flybe way? mmmmm thats more like it! now Jimbo doesnt have to expose Flybe to the wolves of the stock exchange as he now has a nice friendly backer called BA!!!!! who he probably thinks will be indebted to him for being a knight in shining armour well Brymon/BRAL/BAR/BACX/BACON we all had that backer as well look where it got us! BA are putting a lot of cash up to ensure this works, Jimbo has already stated that in print BUT if he thinks that BA will give him the cash and not have a say in how its spent then he is deluding himself, might as well call Flybe BACON ! because if BA are behind the scenes tugging on the strings once in a while then Jimbo will dance to there tune.
