Names and true identities apart, unfortunately for those of us at the 'coal face' it now just seems as if we were going to be exchanging one bunch of lying two faced management for another, when it all seemed so optimistic, and yes we've all heard 'the biggest regional airline in europe' jingo before.
When the deal was first mooted, coming hot on the heels of the Flybe 'spat' with Brs Airport which saw all the (very) prominent Flybe advertising removed from Brs, it was accepted by most that there would be no future for Brs.
However after a succession of staff forums, and liason visits by senior Flybe staff, the picture had changed, route plans were afoot up until 2010, we were shown the predicted route plans and received firm
confirmation that there was a place for Brs and its' routes, albeit with some changes, and this is the story that we got at every meeting with every Flybe representative.
Now in BACON we've had over 4 years of blatant lying from messrs Evans and Co, and frankly, we're all fed up with it, and were looking forward to a fresh management, but now Flybe look to be starting as they mean to go on, barely has the ink dried and the true colours have been nailed to the mast.
So, on behalf of everyone who's not getting offered the choice of tours or relocation ....
Up Yours Jim French
