Interesting
I have been reading the posts of so called experts and their views on the future of Flybe and feel that I need to just bring up a few points
1. All we as the public and even some staff may see is what is released to media and in staff memos. I am sure that a lot more information is monitored and gathered to give the people who are in the know the information required to enable to do the best for the company.
2. We see routes being cut and dropped at present surely is a route is making a loss then this is the best thing to do. No business would continue with a route or product that losses money.
3. Yes there is a lot of restructuring happening at present but again for the long term this is for the best. Many large companies recently have either been unable to just or just ignored situations that needed restructuring until it was all too late, Woolworths, Jesssops, HMV to name a few. Everyone should be currently praising the managers and board members who have had to balls to say "We have an issue here lets do something about it".
4. Please remember all these cutbacks and restructuring are not to increase the profit margin at this stage it's just to get back into profit, it's not as if Flybe are making Billions and saying lets screw the staff over to make even more.
5. If you look at the predicted savings then next year Flybe will be back in profit, at this stage Flybe are still under their own control and selecting the best way forward. Anyone who understands how businesses work will not be surprised by this as they will be well aware how many times this happens in all types of companies.
and finally
Will everyone with negatives comments please stop them. Anyone on this forum is here because they are interested in aviation and should all be hoping for the best for ALL airlines. All negative comments do is spread worry and fear in staff and the public. This in turn weakens morale and causes people not to book with the airline. And as for the Flybe staff who do not believe that Flybe will not be here in a few years then do the decent thing and leave now and let the staff who are loyal and believe in the future do their best to support the company.
Rant over.
