Predictably most are leaving for long haul EK/BA(ultimately) etc and I know from a conversation had some time ago with a member of m/ment they arent concerned by that.
In fact he stated they are not trying to compete with the longhaul boys and will never be able to stop people leaving for the longhaul or leaving to fly the big stuff.
The only thing that will get FRs attention if we start losing people to similiar airlines ie EZY, FlyBe, Jet2 etc.
And that is not happening in anything like the numbers (if at all) for the company to stand up and take note.
You have to hand it to FR its just not bad enough for the 'mass exodus'.
I believe there are over 2500 pilots in FR now. We cant all be deluded. If it was better anywhere else in the UK for a senior Capt and gets me home everynight to see my missus I would be applying. Sadly cant find it.
