FlYbe's management, much as expected from when the proposal was first announced back in Nov, have now shown everyone exactly the sort of people they are. Are Flybe pilots aware that rashers will be paid a £3000 bonus at end of June providing we have not tendered our resignation by then? Hmmmm, that's nearly a £1M payout if we all stay that long. Especially surprising following the recent announcement by Flybe of a £12.2M pre-tax loss in its latest trading year. Did you manage to weasel that from Willie as an extra payment for the deal proceeding? Not that a measly £3K will change anyones decision to leave before the 3 months is up. What a strange tactic. But leave is what many if not majority will continue to do - for our lifestyle issues are now shafted. What does it take for Jim F to realise that lifestyle is THE important factor that keeps pilots in regional type flying? Most people will accept hard work providing they can plan their life and say NO when necessary. The excuse for a scheduling agreement that has been forced upon us leaves no-one in any doubt that you don't give a damn about lifestyle. Well sorry Jim, you're about to learn the hard way.
