It's a shame we cannot get some more solid information. I'm actually quite willing to give it a chance, but with all the rumours about BRS closing & a complete lack of commitment in any press release, we'd be fools not to look elsewhere (I'm BRS based), so I have several irons in the fire.
Come on Flybe: what are your plans for Bristol?
The no-hassle-option is to stay if there's a future at BRS and I probably would. But if I have to relocate, it won't be for a job on a turboprop. And I'm not waiting around for a decision if I get a better offer first.
What worries me is people seem to leaving from Flybe & BACon alike. For an acquisition to be successful, the first months are critical & good communication is vital. Also remember it's the good people who leave first - they have the most options and are snapped up by competitors. The ones left at the end were unable to find anything else - is that a recipe for success?
