Hi Alpha Charlie
well none of us really know what will happen with T and C's. I know that if I go to EDI on the RJ I am going to keep my current T and C's. I don't know this for definite if I go to FlyBe. Nothing against the Q400, but my long term career aspirations are to sit in the LHS of a Boeing or Airbus. As I'm getting on a bit (nearly 40) I think I would be better off staying on a jet aircraft in order to achieve this. In addition there is no concrete info as to whether or not we will be bonded for the Q400, with the special 3 year non reducing bond.
As we are living in an information vacuum, and our bids have to be in by 21st Dec, I have decided to stay with the devil I know.
