moving from the Dash to the Embraer equalled a big pay rise for less work, so perhaps the point is why should a pilot doing the same job for the same airline have to put up with significantly less money just because they fly a modern quick and efficient TP.....

Flybe will have a TP/jet ratio of about 4:1 ultimately, so if pilots are going to work a LoCo regime, why do it for half the price of an Easy/Baby/FR pilot. If a stable experienced pilot workforce is required then pay the going rate for the job.

As I said before, people are speculating wildly because they feel insecure in the face of any real information
