You'd be sensible to be happy to (still) have a job - oh, and don't give us all that "The company's perfectly great, it's all the management's fault" B*ll*cks - sit in the corner quietly and learn how your new colleagues do business. Oh, and BTW, that'll be looking up from the BOTTOM of OUR seniority list.
Could be better for everyone if the whole due diligence thing collapses.
Certainly simpler.
1. agreed
2. Any jumped up Jonny from either company who comes trying to order anybody around will get NOWHERE!! - agreed

We recognise you have not had the BA noose around your neck and have been allowed to get on with it - well done your management who have been free to manage in a practical manner.
The above viewed from an equal perspective on the seniority list - I would expect
You and your colleagues stand to benefit considerably from the takeover (word chosen with reality in mind) - even if ir does delay your progress in the short term!!!

Certainly simpler - life isn't easy!

There are more BACON pilots who are relatively senior and with a lot more experience generally than flybe middle of the field guys. There are also some very senior flybe guys who are also very experienced. - what would you do?
