I just want to back up some of the positive posts on here. For what it is trying to be, Flybe is doing very well. Yes there are problems, and if any professional pilot here on PPRuNe tells me that there are no problems with their airline, then I'll not believe them.
I have met some really nice ex-Bacon pilots, and I've met some who've done nothing else but slag off their new employer, and prided themselves on announcing (rather loudly) that they're leaving. I wish them all the best, but I'd take odds-on that they are in for the same "culture shock" wherever they're going.
I'm sad that there is still a "them and us" attitude, but inevitably it will remain until the Bacon fleet is consigned to the past and we all work on the fleet in Flybe's model.
As for the opportunity for "newbies", I say give it a go, you could do a lot worse.
