Well,
Biddedout, as it happens I was actually cooking up some bacon on the barbie when I wrote that... 25C and a light breeze from the NW where I am...
Anyway - on the subject of HOTAC, you have no idea what you are on about with regard to flybe. There is a process in flybe to ensure suitable hotels are provided, after some real dodgy places were being used about five years ago. When I left, it was a LOT better and there were no crap hotels in use. It may have changed now of course, but I doubt it. Of course the Rougemont in EXT was a bit of an exception...
Some of us spent more time in HOTAC than we spent at home (some of us, considerably more). It is, and has been, a real problem for flybe (rostering, that is).
I just love the way that you BACON guys assume that you will somehow have some mystical ability to specify your own hotels, or rosters, or whatever. You really do believe that your existing Scheduling Agreement is just going to transfer directly to flybe in toto, don't you?
Good luck with that...
