Flatspin, glad you are happy, and I know quite a few who are the same as you.
Was merely pointing out that (IMHO), I don't see Flybe going down the route of buying a jet based regional operation in the hope retaining crews (market conditions aside) as they migrate them to tprops. I stand by my comment that the letter caused a lot of pilots who were undecided, to get away as quickly as possible. Without BAs £100m bung, the aquisition would not have been a good move, and I suspect LH would not be quite so willing to hand out cash.
BMIR seems to be a very viable and successful regional operator, and hopefully LH will want to have a regional presence in the UK which will hopefully be good news for all those at BMIR.
