"Same goes for directors too, if Flybe does float then no cashing in of shares for at least five years without significant financial penalties."
Get real. Do you think that the directors are in the aviation business because the like looking out the window at you landing aeroplanes or collecting rego numbers?
They are there because if they get it right they can flog it off and retire to a carribean island to count their dosh. Some like Branson don't even need to flog it off
Part of the process is by chaining you to the aircraft with a bond, working you as hard as they can without you detracting from the profits by making a mistake and for as little wedge as possible .
