cityjet stability?
Does anybody know something about the (financial) stability of Cityjet?
Are they in full ownership of KLM/Air France or just a independant franchise company? Are they making profit or do they loose money?
Do you think they will still exist in another say 5 to 10 years? What are their plans for the future, only fly for KLM/Air France or do they put their eggs also in different baskets. I have flown for a franchise company before and when the parent company said goodbeye to them, the game was over. So I better think twice before I join.
All info is welcome.
Thanks E.C.

Cityjet is fully owned by air france, as well as "britair" and "Regional".
If tomorrow air france decides to keep only one of its 3 feeder airlines, then Cityjet for sure will be the one !!
(an irish company is far more competitive than a french one)
Air france has signed an agreement with the french BALPA for taking on every year a certain amount of its feeder pilots in priority. But unfortunately, Cityjet pilots are not included in this unfair agreement
, even if they are fluent in french, etc...
Anyway, the future in France is Ryanair and easyJet !
