IC and BW were seen in our crewroom a month or two ago, and the way they spoke to the crews is seen as a significant factor in alot of people reaching for the exit door.
To paraphrase, they told us - to be grateful to still have a job (which is a reasonable thing to say, although I think it was the tone in which this was said) and that we will all be on the Q400 within a year as the 145's will be going very shortly. Oh, and don't even think you'll get a look in as far as remaining on jets goes.
Well this dosen't appear to be happening as quickly as mentioned, but alot of folk have reached for the door as they've been told "you won't stay on a jet". These two guys have got a lot to answer for in terms of "encouraging" BACON guys to leave - but maybe that's what they want ?!?
