1964nick,
Suggest you start opening your eyes! Presume you don't listen to your customers, or don't interface with them, or you would understand how badly they are treated on the ground and how flybe disregard them when cancelling flights etc.
FYI, BACON were not 'rescued', it was a tactical decision by BA, and lots of us, both pilots and cabin crew have given it a chance, realised it's not for us and are leaving.
HOWEVER I still reserve the right to speak on this forum about the bad stuff flybe do, in the vain hope that the airline improves.
Bottom line is, BA treats its staff better, recognises them appropriately and Manages them effectively, something flybe just seem unable or are unwilling, to do. I don't think its deliberate, it's just that they don't have enough experience or nowse to do it properly.
As a recent post from me indicates, as soon as I get a course I will be off, and you won't have anyone to remind flybe how cr*p they are.
Hooray I hear you cry!
Safe Flying.
