Yo Mad-air
 

If you beleive the rumour's that keep being bounded around - we're supposed to be buying you out anyway !!!!!

Ace- you journos just never give up, do you...

Ole RD does have the ear of more than one director, I would trust him years before I would trust your second-hand hearsay, which I doubt very much comes from a sourcer any higher than a disgruntled BHD F/O. :D :D :D

As for dik dastardly, how low can you get... what a to@@er.

One thing I will say for RD, he went out of his way to sit on our (very uncomfortable) jumpseat and brief us on Kickstart the day after it happened. I wish more people in the company were as quick to pass on information.

Apparently he's left now.:D

Whispering Giant.....!!!
 

...I'd like to know how you're buying us when we've floated on the AIMS Stock exchange, and yet you havn't had a payrise for two years, is it now?!:D
Good luck with ya flying course!!

You sad prat...

These would be your two BHD mates that turned up still p1ssed from the night before... oh yes, very high quality candidates...

I take it you failed the Easyjet fun day then.

:rolleyes:

Snooze,

I think that you're barking up the wrong tree mate, as I've said previously they're not my cup of tea.
As somebody else has also said, wild horses wouldn't drag me away either.

As for your other statement, well thats a pretty bold allegation.

OK well this is obviously going to degenerate from this point on. In that case, I'll bow out now as I don't really see what else there is to say- except for this.

If any flybe staff need info on what the company is doing, there are a few options.

Every employee at EXT (as well as key people at outstations) has an email address. It is always in the format firstname.secondname@flybe.com

There is the telephone.

There is the company intranet, where key points of news (including the recent Kickstart) are available for all staff to view.

There is the Open Channel site (www.beopenchannel.com)

There is your local manager- if at an outstation, that would be the Base Engineer, Base Captain or Base CA. The Base Engineers and Base Captains attend Kickstart.

There are Open Channel reps in (or near) each base.

There are (or should be) minutes of Open Channel meetings available in crew rooms.

What else do you need?

Bear in mind that, as the company is rapidly changing at the moment, you may not always get the info you need, particularly if it is commercially sensitive (this also applies to fleet planning).

For non-employees- keep fishin'... :D :D :D

Management
 

RD - It seems you are very loyal to flybe and know what's going on. Why don't you apply for a management position?

It seems the management changed the name of the airline as a last ditched attempt at keeping it afloat. Maybe it has worked or maybe not, we'll see. At least you stick to your guns. However I do still think Flybe is not the best airline to work for, from what I have heard. Maybe some people have a drive to further their career. Why not cut some slack!!!!!

Snooze ya lose.

Shame you had to resort to such offensive language on an open forum. It gives such a bad impression young man. Or is it an indication of the type of recruit your airline is looking for? Not a good advert for those who may think the future is "orange"!

Craciun fericit si un an nou fericit.

And for those of you who think I'm from the other place,

Nollaig faoi shean agus faoi shonas duit agus bliain nua faoi mhaise.

Thats me bowing out also, have a good one.:D

Oh alright, one more then...

Cos I like flying!

Of course. They had to. The world has changed, partly due to lo-cos and partly due to Muslim fundamentalists. You either adapt or die. There is no longer the traditional business there once was, and we- like BMI (baby), like KLMuk (buzz), like MyTravel (lite), like BA itself (Go)- had to re-invent ourselves. Whether the pendulum will swing the other way remains to be seen- I suspect it will for the reasons already given.

You haven't been listening. I have already said that we suit some people, Easy et al suit others. The things we offer, Easy doesn't. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with Easy (as with most airlines), but they do have their weaknesses and blind spots. They are certainly not the cure for all ills that some think. The best airline to work for is the one that pays you a fortune, gives you 20 days off a month, and never calls you out when on standby. If you find such an airline, please let me know the phone number.

You pays your money...

By eck lad! your spelling is poor. Can't make ed nor tail of it!
