Calvus, it may have been due to them being fogged in on Fraggle Rock a couple of nights ago. I'm told they were unable to change their tickets despite protestations of, 'don't you know who we are?'

This late in the game unless I'm specifically rostered to see them, with a DP and appropriate rest period after as per the scheduling agreement, I have no interest in hanging around a crewroom when I don't have to.

I just hope this is a meaningful exercise, based on a few home truths having been told on the base visit and with a view to a full settlement. I fear it's more a stalling tactic.

What's going on??
Union and management last ditch meetings looming?
Possible IA ballot?
Indecision on distribution of jet and other fleets?
Something else entirely????

If you'd read all the comms coming from the company and Balpa you would have noticed that the next meeting is today, so hopefully yes, an imminent announcement of major concessions based on the Jim Mc letter to JF from a couple of weeks ago

I fully expect nearly all terms to be met, and then magically the smaller bases (eg INV, ABZ, LGW) will start to close in order to save them money.
Of course set against an 'announcement' that the pilots are to blame because they are greedy buggers.
Awesome.

But that would fly in the face of what Jim French said, which was (to paraphrase 
)
'We're committed to ensuring pilots are based in the regions. In fact, it's flybe's sole reason for existing. We're like a homing centre for displaced regional pilots. We never allow a healthy one to be put down. How could I sleep at night knowing that some of our pilots weren't able to drive just round the corner to spend 55 hours off with their (probably lovely) families? Buckets of cash you say? What buckets of cash? Shut up!'
