I can't believe some of you are debating the pros and cons of jets vs turboprobs and the operating ceiling of the Q400.the merger of Bacon and Flybe will create a disfunctional airline with an embittered workforce and an incompatible fleet which will mirror all the failings of BAconnect which has lead to this dreadfull situation we now have, being repeated once again.this deal is bad for Flybe and as for Bacon,Willie threatens to close it down if the merger doesn't go through.i pity the resulting monster that will be created and don't hold out much hope for it's long term future.if the merger does take place,which seems more and more likely as time moves on,i can only suggest to those that can move to pastures new,don't hang about too long.we are approaching another very sad day in the history of British aviation.whoever would have thought it would come to this?
