FlyBe to acquire BA Connect (Crew thread - no spotters)

[biddedout]

I understand that the management road-show has been out again warning Bacons that if they don’t tell their reps to back off and blindly agree to everything that management stick under their noses, the deal is off (again). Last time they did this only six weeks ago, the reps hadn’t even met with management.

A lot of the anger and bitterness came about following those early meetings. A number of senior trainers were incensed by the aggressive attitude of one manager in particular who had been a colleague less than six months ago. With the attrition rate as it is, JF would be wise to pull these individuals to heel before they do any more damage. What could have been a great opportunity is rapidly turning into a farce. Loads of aeroplanes, a rapidly reducing pilot workforce and at the current rate of attrition, no one left to do the training!
