You think I have any great loyalty for my current employer, think again, the 30% paycut and phone call from Jack the lad was my own bitter experience when Flightline went under.
My very limited flying for regional was in 146's on the German routes, many years ago. I think that is the same time warp where the Granite mob think they are.
Seriously, management will tell you anything, just to keep you at the controls right up until the last flight runs. They don't want all the crew leaving when they've commited to running the schedule for the next 3 months. Then, kaboom, letters and legal minimum redundancy, bus fare home, mind how you go.
I sincerely hope that things turn out well, but there are too many people running around with a head full of fairy stories, a dose of reality is needed.
