MVE, some of your reply is quite appropriate, but doesn't explain why over a third of the 150 leaving are "old Flybe" pilots.
Also, I think you are being a little simplistic in putting the number of ex Cons leaving down to t&c issues, for many it is just as much a question of base, opportunity to fly jets or simply pay. Jimbos letter invited us to FIFO, so don't get upset that so many are choosing to do the latter.
Personnally, I don't see much antagonism in the crew room, and ultimatey, those that have a reason to stay will, and those that have a better reason to go will go. C'est la vie.
What I'm more concerned about at the moment is the number of Q400s that seem to live on the ramp rather than in the air. For a lo-co, such poor utilisation is surely not good...
