Any good news or rumours about reducing the number of redundancies?
The head line of 60+ routes not covering their costs led most to think things were really bad. But, 4 of the route cuts announced actually meant only 2 rotations per day being dropped between all 4 (GLA-CDG, CWL-CDG,BHD-CDG,BHX-CDG), also many of the routes were summer only or once per week, so not as bad as expected. 10 year round route were dropped on 4th Dec with 14 summer only ones, then a couple of routes transferred to Loganair. The Newquay routes were saved. Some route frequencies were increased. Inverness only lost the Gatwick flight and Aberdeen seem untouched although Cardiff is almost wiped off the Flybe map.Yes there were 6 Gatwick routes dropped and one Q400 removed from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Southampton. If there are 9 planes being withdrawn wouldn't the pilot redundancies be more like 90?
Will there still be 179 pilots plus 320 other staff laid off or is there some good news?
