Maybe I'm missing the point here, but shouldn't you be venting your frustrations at the company responsible for the mess, not at the one coming to the rescue??
If you'd rather not join Flybe then why not simply seek employment elsewhere. Don't start bitching at them, they aren't the ones responsible for the situation you find yourself in!
PRECISELY.
Noiffs, if it is " Funny how all of us at BACON seem to have several job offers on a plate from employers who are offering FAR BETTER terms", why don't you take one of them and shut up?
The only reason I can see for your continued attacks is that you are unwilling or unable to do so. I can't think of any other reason for your increasingly bitter rants.
You clearly don't like flybe at all, and I'm sure that flybe neither wants nor needs people with your attitude, so why not take one of the numerous offers from airlines that are desperate to employ you?
And as for balance sheets, for a privately owned company, flybe is doing fine...
