oapilot, red snake, I take all your points and my comments regarding most/all leaving due to the T's and C's was far too simplistic.
However my response was to the general rubbishing comment made by Bugspeed, clearly from someone who hasn't been around Flybe for long or they would realise the gross insult he/she is paying us.
As to some not wanting to leave because of being moved to the q400, all I can say is try flying it first. Would it really be a step down from flying the 145, really? If it was coupled with a possible base move/family move, I could understand the reluctance.
If your ultimate aim is to move to the likes of Monarch or Easy etc, it's a great first aircraft and for a lot of us it will be a great last aircraft!
Flybe has long been a feeder airline and they make no apoligies for it, but it's due to the great experience that you get here that makes it so easy to move on.
It's not all good and the way the Bristol closure was handled shows the other side of Flybe management and you all have my sympathies but I suspect if Bacon management had been as willing to be so brutal things may have been different.
Flybe is by no means perfect but overall it's not bad!
