BAConnect & Flybe
Dear Colleagues,
Thought we should start a joint BACON/FLYBE thread for us cabin crew about the takeover of BACON by FLYBE. Anyone any views on this? Personally I just want something to happen, the waiting is getting everyone down here at BACON??

well done 
its the lack of communication that is becoming annoying now,we dont know where we're at with the whole deal and whether its even going through, although rumour has it, papers may well be signed tomorrow (how romantic!)

Its getting frustrating at Flybe too. We dont have a clue whats happening really. Got the March roster the other day and they aren't complete becasue the summer schedule has not been finalised due to the delays.
I am really excited to meet you all. Will be nice to see a few new faces. I am just gutted I wont be able to go on your baby embraer. Been told I am too tall

Baby Jet
WoW! You must be a GIANT TeaAnyone21! Seriously, 5-11 is max height for 145's, even little old me at 5-8 bumps my head on lockers if I haven't operated Baby Jet for a while! Where are you based, we have a coupla GIANTS at Brum who are in similar situation, at least they will fit the Qthingy and BIG Embraer you operate?
Fleet Office folk have been showing us the FLYBE uniform this week, SHUDDER! Still at least us boys get to wear blue, much more practical than the RED the ladies have to wear.
Sad to think it will be a while to go before we fly together, but lets hope not too long.
Andrew Strong is coming to BHX tommorrow, do you know if he plans to go to your crew room, I hear he is planned to visit ours??
Happy Flying!

5'11 we were told 5'9. Doesnt matter anyway I am 6ft maybe 6'1.
Been on days off so havent heard about the visit. On earlies tomorrow so will probably see him. Only met him once I think. (I am BHX by the way)
The uniform isn't that shocking. The blokes is better than the old one which never kept all its hanging buttons. Even I look slightly smart in it.
Oh tell the taller blokes that yes we do fit on the super-dash but be prepared to hit your head lots on the lockers!

Eek - Im 6'2". Does a hard hat come as part of the yummy uniform? Is the jacket still double breasted? Straight out of Howards Way....(anyone remember that. Those shoulder pads were FAB!)

One of the hold-ups on the deal being signed could be the fact that half of the cabin crew balloted on the new cabin crew t&c's couldn't be arsed to return the ballot paper.......duh. It was rejected by such a small margin that the company now have to be re-balloted which holds progress up for all of us others.
All the cabin crew have been promised jobs....think about the rest of us that might not be in that position...talk about short sighted!

According to the Bacon notice board here at B'ham, we are all being rostered a 'welcome to flybe' day in March, will all be trained on their product and delivering it from 24th. Seems interesting given that the deal has not been signed yet?
Also PM telling crew today we will all be measured for the red uniform over next coupla weeks and will be in it also by 24th March.
Pilots deal still not signed, AMICUS cabin crew being re-ballotted as they were the ones who said 'no way jose', and they need to sort the ex BRAL pension deal.
Interesting times ahead!

Yea,i believe management had a nice little trip to gatwick yesterday. Something to do with Uniform was mentioned then.But by 24th March?Bit soon,going by the current deadlines,which have so far been given but never met. I know the guys going to Cityflyer go there on the 1st March & those going to LCY start there on 25th March, but ive got a nice CDG GLA on the RJ i think on the 28th March....interesting.

Maybe the March date is not such a silly target. What with Andrew Strong at BHX this week and the go ahead given by OFT its at the later stages.
Obviously there are still issues but maybe BACON and Flybe have had enough and are just going for it.
The latest date we have heard is 28th Feb for signing the paperwork.
