...I suspect our non pilot, low to middle management grade friend WW believes IAG is going to start up a "BA Express" type operation to undercut the mainline BA operation...
Go Fly, much catchier than BA Express...!!!
I could probably get hired tomorrow at a regional airline flying E170/175s...
FlyBe, BA CityFlyer and whatever BMI Regional are called these days...all have EMB types, but pay in the RHS isn't good...
You sound in a better position than most in Europe, short term i'd stay put!
