You heard it from Slicer, you heard it there first!

....................and yet.............if you extract the fact from the emotion, then old Bacon Slicer has been absolutely right. Not that it helps anyone or anything. Pork Scratchings eh, PMSL!!!! He's right too, more people than this thread indicates will remain with Flybit, sheer inertia always wins out. I anticipate many months of whinging from smoked bits of BACON as they come to terms with the latest debacle. I wonder if the crew room arguments will be any different to the Loganair/Manx set-tos. I think it's just the way Regional Aviation goes, there's not enough money to keep more than one or two players going for any length of time, so all the same faces just appear again and again - and remember, scum and froth always float to the top!
One eery thought on those lines is that Jim's lot have apparently kept on some interesting figures in management. For instance, I understand the new 146 Fleet Manager is to be a certain Murph, is that who was referred to earlier as "The Monkey"? Then there is "The Cheese" - maybe a good engineer, but an 'interesting' pilot, and a 'people manager' of variable qualities?????? Don't forget MiniMe and Devious Deverall - they are still around too. Wait for the announcement that Wittless is to become a senior manager too.
Mind you, at least PH etc have been dispensed with.

We live in interesting times!
