At 16.38 you posted "I am currently employed by a major airline and fly out of Heathrow "
At 16.49 you posted " - don't get me wrong I have been here from the start and I have been dissapointed with the set backs up to now."
Am I missing something or are these two posts contradictory.

No; not patronising, more avuncular. If you work for a major player at LHR I would hazard a guess that it is a low payer, say BMI for example, which may well prompt you to consider a move to such a risky and to date noexistant venture.
I reiterate that as you are not on the FW payrole there really is little need to be defensive about their future; to date they haven't got one.
Now as for your comments about risk taking in aviation, you clearly no nothing of the workings of the CPG, they are risk averse which has a lot to do with the stand off between the CPG and FW's boss and a lot to do with why they are not flying people to Florida right now.

My friend went to work for them a year or more ago, I went to visit her and help, what a shambles, I am not surprised she went and they should all go and play at stewardesses somewhere else.

You, wan2Fly, are Mr Aden Murcutt, CEO of WhoFlu?, here is my copy of The Daily Mirror, and I claim my five pounds.
[I'd lay £1,000 at 50:1 on that I'm right).

Further to your post....
Thanks for reply - I dont work for a lower paid airline I fly Long Haul only I get a good salary work for a national airline. However I feel FW have a great product to offer. I beleive in their ethos and its as simple as.
No matter how many posts we put on PPRUNE good or bad negative or positive we will just have to wait and see what happens, after all its not that long to wait is it?.

Want2fly, I think the problem some posters have, myself included, with the whole flywho thing is basically, taking it seriously. Many of the people here using these forums are in senior positions. With those positions comes the responsibility of making decissions that effect the performance of their company and ultimately peoples jobs. I have been in your position, I was cabin crew for many many years, I had a great time, loved every minute of it. The last thing I was intersted in was the performance of the company, more like who's room the room party down route was in!!! Nothing wrong with that, make the most of it. However, in your position as cabin crew you are possibly unaware of what is required to set up an airline and only see the end result. I understand and appreciate that but some of the negative posts here have been from people that run very succesful businesses and find it difficult not to comment as flywho to date have proved themselves to be unprofessional and somewhat of a joke in the industry.
I know you were successful in getting a position with flywho, well done.They obviously impressed you during the interview and you liked their product. Your confidence in them is admirable but from a business point of view (which so far is the only way they can be judged as they have not taken off so we can't try the product), they have an appauling track record and have found it difficult to attract investors. This speaks volumes so the onboard product means zero.

I have it on good authority the uptake on bookings has been incredibly good. After a great deal of if's but's why's and when's, the blue butterfly will at long last be taking to the skies!

Dear Epsilon,
Careful, I dont want you being one of those having to wipe copious amounts of egg away!
Some things are obviously very sensative, but they would really not be at the point they are now without all the necessary parts of the machine in place. Think about it!!

Well if they are taking all these bookings, perhaps they would be so kind as to release "WHO'S" AOC and "WHO'S" AIRCRAFT they will be using, be nice for the fare paying passengers to know "WHO" they are flying with because at the moment its fly "WHO - KNOWS WHAT ON AND WHO WITH"
