Hey Heebeegb,
Go easy on Flapjack - despite the slightly sensationalist title to the thread, he raises some valid points that may stimulate some interesting debate.
Also see the GB pay negotiations thread........

Thought GB was profitable according to previous posts??? Maybe becoming a wholly owned BA subsidiary - would fit nicely with the BA Connect network????? The family run holding company for GB - isn't doing too well from what I hear though....
i think flapjack made some valid points, but agree that mere speculation is sometimes unhelpful.
I think GB has a very bright and exciting future!!!

Blimey, beauport potato man - your post has been pretty drastically sanitised since you edited it - have they pulled you into the office for a 'chat' ? 
SectorSafe, you state.....
Surely, all posts on PpruNe are the observations and opinions of individuals and therefore cannot be viewed as 'official' ?
SectorSafe, you state.....
What you post is unsubstantiated and your own opinion and observations

Easy & FR have done as flapjack320 says..
T&C,s have got worse (& more to come methinks)...
Two Cpts & ten F/Os have left (or handed in their notice)in the the last few months, with at least three other Cpts I know of about to do the same!
Then, either you have been asleep or are doing your best ostrich impersonation.
BTW, Remember what this forum is called!

Thanks Flapjack - yeah, it was a cracking night out and one hell of a send-off ! (many thanks to all who turned up).
I think you should ignore any flack you get over this thread - like I said earlier, you've raised some valid points that should stimulate some interesting debate. After all, isn't that what PPRuNe's all about ?
Cheers,

So I’m guessing GB is looking for replacements for these crew that have left? Any one have any idea about numbers? With new aircraft on the way too I’m guessing a few…
GB lost about £5.5m last year. Reports not yet filed but that is apparently the figure. Most of this seems to be down to the fact that they are continually trying to sell £1 for 50 pence, particularly given the crazy bulk buying rates that they give to many of the tour operators using GB flights.

How many aircraft do GB Airways still have on order, and where are they likely to expand to next? The MAN hub is now over a year old, how is it doing? Does anyone think BHX will ever play a role in GB's future considering BA Connect's position there, or is there too much LCC competition?
