To be honest I think most pilots and engineers wouldn't have a tear for any managment redundancys in any airline.
50% of that is because in general we are a bunch of self centered gits.
And the other 50% is because both groups are quite remote from alot of the managment functions and have very little contact with most of them. Apart from an occassional snot o-gram which in the main are ignored because said snot o-gram was written with little or no real life experence of flying the line and mostly arn't pratically possible if they are even legal.
This post isn't pointing at Flybe managment BTW I don't have a clue how they deal with either groups.
