Given how many people have lost their jobs and are furloughed are you surprised? There’s obviously a lot of ex-aviation staff out there who would love to get back into the sector.

Any news about how things are progressing for the new flybe, anymore jobs advertised or aircraft added to the fleet, is there any news of any bases being set up apart from Birmingham ?
I would be amazed if they started with more than one base; having bases across so many airports probably didn't help the cause of the old Flybe! I would have thought slow and steady will win the race, if indeed they can win the race (to profitability).

The PSO route from NQY to London has opened for bids again, for when the current operator BA finishes the service again from October. I would be surprised in the New Flybe didn’t put in a bid for it, as it was very successful for them,for a good number of years.

The bases, aircraft and crews were not what did for the old Flybe. It was the excessive aircraft leases carried over from the old Walker Trust days that dragged it down. Remember that. Other than that it was a pretty efficient and happy company. Just held down by that millstone round their necks.

Well I’ll give you a comment. I see that she is using her new position to urge parents to not just give girls toys, but to give them things like LEGO as well (see Flight Global). I have no problem with the idea of encouraging more females into the industry but I would have thought that there might just be some more pressing issues to deal with at the moment. I have met COW and it is a mystery to me how she lands these jobs.

Indeed COW has a bad enough record without the need to get vulgar or personal. Cityjet was loss making under her, VLM was bought and disappeared and Flybe collapsed. TAP has been continually loss making too so I’m sure she’ll feel right at home.
Back on to the thread topic have there been any further updates on Flybe? Does anyone know if the recruitment has gone anywhere?
