Regional will have to adapt in order to survive
It will become a new standalone company and the bmi Regional branding will become utter pointless. I can only imagine that a whole new branding project will need to be done. Anyone with half a brain can see that.
If Eastern get their claws into bmiR, that will not be good for the staff or for Scottish aviation.

I'd agree with Granite on the Eastern point of view.
Air Southwest is a case in point.
I'd run a mile if Huxford and Lake were involved, just look at the way they treat
their existing airline and staff within. With sheer contempt.
Good luck to Granite and all the guys at BMI Regional.

Air Southwest was exactly what I was thinking about, I have friends who work at Eastern and would leave in a heartbeat. I have heard that there are other people in the Granite team that are less well known, one name I have heard is A regular contributor here, isn't that right Flypuppy?

eastern delight full of eastern promise
there's nothing wrong with the way eastern get treated!the two guys who run it are absolutely first class chaps!and we've got valet baggage trucks.well i guess you'll all get sorted out when eastern get control.
we get chester back and what's left of you will get more changes than dr jekyll.

i'm flying and getting paid for it "poor me"
leave in a heartbeat?
not while they're still getting paid
Eastern have been through hard times like many other airlines but the pilots are still employed
The company has'nt been dumped or sold out
And if the the money was doubled'they were given new rangerovers,beds and hot-tub's installed in death row"the corridor at abz,no roster changes and 10 weeks holiday with a payout of £1000,000 on retirement!
guess what?
they would still leave in a heartbeat
maybe people "for a change"should consider what they have and not what bmi.r are not going to get ie.red carpet this way and come and work for us.
I heard through the grapevine that the big cheese at eastern once said
"if they dont like it then they can **** ***
which is exactly what i would say to employees who were moaning about having a job from me
bravo dickie

Whats happened to BMI Regional Thread??
The previous BMIR thread is no longer working, I have recieved notifications and posted in the last couple of days but none of which is appearing on the main thread board? Has the thread been locked? Things were seeming to be getting a bit personal??
So does anyone know how the buyout is progressing? The process seemed set to be completed around now.

I think Flybe have one or two financial challenges of their own to work out. And I doubt they would want another ERJ fleet, having disposed of the BA Connect machines.

True enough, however!
Flybe woes may make the new regional investors pause for thought given that Regional fish in an even smaller pond than Flybe with aircraft that fit only a very narrow route profile, we're that to come to pass then are IAG contracted to buy Regional and would it not make sense for them to shunt Regional in to Flybe? who are 15% owned by BA?
. wondering if the buyers have gotten cold feet????

There is a board meeting at Donington Hall where the fate of Regional will be decided on Monday morning.
There is only Granite in the running though, so not sure what there is to decide?

IAG have no means by which to 'shunt' anything into Flybe. They are only a minor shareholder and Flybe have stated they have no interest in BMI - unless they are given numerous millions by BMI/IAG/Lufty etc with which to buy it
