Bugspeed,
thats an exceedingly childish comment regarding us being a dodgy outfit, and it's certainly not fair to some excellent engineering folk and flight crew at Flybe. Suggest you wind your neck in if you are comparing Bacon to Flybe, as the evidence of the poor way Bacon has been run after merging two profitable companies and turning them into one cash drain hardly reflects well on the management or the t's and c's of the crews. The very good reason that 150 plus pilots are leaving is due to not getting the ridiculously generous terms and conditions the crews were on at Bacon. I'd love to have those same t's and c's but would prefer my job on a new a/c, reasonable salary and reasonable lifestyle.
If it's not for you then Foxtrot Oscar somehere else!
Which is what our MD said but much more politely!
There are some ex Bacon pilots who will never accept the new terms and conditions and have or are moving on, best of luck to them, but don't try and right off our company because of it.
Have a good look at Flybe and see the turnaround made in the last few years by the engineers and flight crew (with a little help from the MD and management). The fact we have come from debt to a large profit and then swallowed up BA Connect should speak for itself but sadly there are always some who choose not to listen.
So Bugspeed , if you are one of the new crew at Flybe, I suggest you put some time in with the new company before slagging it off, of course it is not what you are used to but then again that company went down the pan!
