She is a promoter of more women in aviation, which i believe is a good philosophy. But she really does not do that cause any favours. Quite the opposite. And where do you start with her decisions at flybe!!!!!!

Pleased to see a thread on this awful woman. You have in fact inadvertently highlighted why this individual keeps getting jobs and will no doubt shortly be announced as a new CEO of another reputable airline. She is a promoter of more women in aviation. This is a cancer affection all businesses where speaking certain rhetoric trumps technical ability and track record. As far as I remember this women actually did nothing for women and arguably ruined the livelihoods of countless women when BE went bust.

Every airline has a "feel" at the worker level and FlyBe was an actual family with many crew quite involved with each other at both the
professional and social level. I know from the public side that the airline made many mistakes (baggage gauge
) but you can't fakethe level of warmth the crew brought to their job.
I saw this at first hand on the day they folded - so many tears from good people, some of whom haven't fully recovered yet.

Could anybody elaborate on what is the problem with her please (in general)?
Her business decisions. She seemed to have a talent for setting out plans, initiatives etc which were clearly going cause problems and costs as opposed to spending time and energy at the coal face fixing stuff.
In no particular order…
Insisting on hand baggage passing through a gauge at the gate and charging £50 for a fail. Many of theses devices appeared to be of slightly different sizes leading to upsets for day return pax.
Designing and painting a new colour scheme on a -8 which was a bland rehash of the purple scheme thus leading to 3 separate schemes in service- at a cost of 10s of thousands.
Failing to control crew costs where obvious wins were a simple instruction away - example;- using expensive taxis to move standby crew between bases but failing to co-ordinate flight and cabin crew requirements thus formations of taxis heading along the motorway with single occupants
I could go on

the other two are being pinned on her,
A true leader would have taken at least some direct action to address systematic operational failures that were pointed out daily - onboard sales EPOS machines for example - instead she diverted her time to paint schemes, gender specific outreaches etc when the airline was bleeding money at a terminal rate.
I nearly wrote bring back Saad............
Obviously the buck has to stop somewhere, but what has happening between the shop floor and the boardroom? Getting crew from A to B as efficiently as possible is a basic task for the lowest level of line management, surely?
About 4 years ago flybe had 5 different colour schemes. I saw all 5 in a row at Southampton one day on stands 1 to 5. I should have taked a photo from the office window.
Old blue and white, first purple, new purple back end, dark blue fin (ex Brussels airline) and ex Contilental colours. Quite a corporate identity, not.
