Well this thread is getting interesting. I have been reading for a while and am so sad to see that there is (subtle) sniping between crew. We are all well aware of the issues at bases, BHX in particular. What I want to say though is spare a second for the 'old' Flybe crews. I agree that ex BA crew are experiencing problems. However, this week I have covered 3 145 duties and hours for alot of Dash crews are rising rapidly. What I am trying to say is that everyone is suffering so spare a thought for us!
It may be a one off but I was also amazed when I read about Swissport pushing to board when the crew were taking a rest on their 50 minute turnaround. Be grateful. The dash and 195 crews would love that. Most of our sectors are rostered 25 minute turnarounds back at base!
I also want to say that we really should give crewing a break. As most people do I hate it when my phone rings on standby but they are doing their best.
