The £3000 payment is only for captains - first oficers are only getting £1500 .
Its not going to cost flybe that much as there are a significant amount of guys leaving. I know of at least a dozen colleagues at my base who have courses with easyjet in August and I don't think any of them will retract their notice for £1500 or £3000 or even try to delay courses as easy are fully booked up till autumn.
I will not be retracting my notice for £1500 (before tax) !!!
