For Info
Just to add my twopenny's worth,
From what i've heard the plan is to dispose of the CRJ's to a foreign operator, in return for this we will get the last 8 Dash8-400's from the production line at Bombardier and from next year the Dash8-300's and 200's will be diposed off leaving us with a fleet off Dash8-400's (12 in total) and 146's. Yes some of the 146's are being disposed of - but these are all the lightweight a/c and we possible might be gaining a additional 146 to to replace one of the one's that are being disposed off.
Personally i enjoy working at flybe i know off several of my collegues from a previous airline that i worked for who now work for the orange mob and they are regretting it and can't wait to move on from there - So perhap's the grass is not greener on the other side - every airline has it's faults and we are NO different.
