If so many pilots are leaving Bacon is it worth Jim French pursuing the purchase of Bacon? Most of the Captains in Manchester are moving to pastures new and who can blame them? Easy, Globespan, Jet 2 and now bmi. All half decent Jet jobs earning proper money. I very much doubt that the takeover will happen. The only downside is Pilots remaining at Bacon when Flybe decide to call the deal off will find themselves unemployed. The whole thing is a mess and the best advice is Get out now.
