without any international routes flown by a former national airline of that country.
Flybe is now the national carrier
it could have retained some of it's cabin crew and used the small team for the JFK service and come to aggrements with the unions
No thank you very much!! BA (in toto) didn't want us as BA Connect employees and we are certainly better off as a business without the overhangs of BA Cabin Crew and their wretched agreements.
Best thing BA ever did for BA Connect employees was to cut them loose. Now we are free to thrive and make a profit.
