FOH
I may have missed something here,but no one said re branding was to improve pilots T&Cs.
The big plus for everyone (inc pilots) is that re branding make you look at all parts of your operation (image thing)and that by " turning stones" you tend to find a few things that need changing,and because they benifit the company, it does not mean that they need to be bad for the staff (inc "YAWN" the pilots).
At the very least i will know what to call the company when i do my welcome aboard bit.
I will very much miss the Kirkwalls, but i guess thats progress.
The FOKKER issue is very interesting, and must mean that down line we will get the EMB170/190, which looks great and some more interesting routes, in all good news me thinks(for pilots as well)
