It was ineviatble at some stage that FLYBE would go back to BA cap in hand to demand more money against the threat of pulling out. That seems to be the game now being played out by Strong. The blame being directed everywhere, Balpa, pension trustees, Uncle Tom Cobbly and all.
Truth is that bit off far more than could be chewed and the FLYBE team way way out of their depth and have pissed off those at BACON who would have been willing to give the company a go. Its all gone on too long and we like less and less what we hear.
Fair to say that most of us couldnt give a damn whether or not the deal goes ahead now and I personally have moved from being pro French and pro the deal to hoping that the whole thing falls over.
BA will then have to make us redundant and deal with us properly instead of chucking us to a bunch of Hillbillies who produce draft documentation containing clauses outlawed by legislation over twenty years ago!!!. (Nice one Mr Fromage!!!!)
Anyone who wants it has alternatives and it seems the biggest miscalculation of Mr French was that he was our only hope. At the moment hed be lucky to get the one third of us who have not already handed our notice in.
BTW 118 Pilots resigned in January. Fact.
