IMHO having worked for flybe for 12 months after the merger with BA Connect, things will not change in that airline, they are happy for it to be a constant training organization with fresh new eyes wide open first officers. As for the company council well, they never had that much luck in negotiating a good deal when I was there, it was more like they were told what was happening by the management and they basically accepted it. On a positive note Flybe offers 1. A good starter airline for new guys entering the industry, 2. A good airline for people who live around regional airports who enjoy living and working there, 3.A good airline for experienced guys and girls who have been there a long time and don't want to loose there seniority, 4. A good airline for peolpe who have done enough flying for larger companys such as TC, MON, Emirates. 4. An airline with good training standards and excellent trainers. So if you dont like it and your unhappy with your lot, just leave because it won't change to suit the pilots wishes. Finally be very nice in your exit interview and answer the questions with what they want to hear and not what you really think because you never know, one day you may go back there looking for work !!!
