Teleparty - I can tell you don't work for Flybe.
No pilots waiting to return to work, management were very good at not laying people off and getting new contracts to keep busy over the past 18 months!! Due credit where it is deserved, they have done well there and with the new Finish contract too, but people are already working max hours at many bases!
However shiny little jets won't keep people if management don't settle the current dissatisfaction with rosters and pay. There may be lots of MPL cadets to come, but many experienced people from both seats are likely to walk soon, so they won't keep what they have let alone increase numbers!!
