The management of Flybe UK will still bang on like a chav on Jeremy Kyle that all their woes are everyone else's fault but their own. No willingness to take responsibility for their own failings.
The Ryanair deal will have no impact on the current situation at the UK airline as this remains a stand-alone business from any other Euro ventures.

we are in consultation with the UK CAA over the completion of MPL training for pilots currently within such schemes if there are to be no places immediately available within Flybe.

Because they are not employees of Flybe until they finish their training,go through type rating,where they sign their contracts,so yes,it is legal!
so now they can make people redundant,and "hire" their graduates in 18 months time,get it?!check the law...

Don't panic.
No more free tea or coffee for crew now and the ten quid Christmas voucher has gone too. That'll keep management in R8s...I mean that'll save enough money so that management don't have to actually manage and sell tickets at the right price or cull the top heaviness.

Jack Walker will be spinning in his grave. He wanted to share his company with the employees, but now the company management is taking away the tea and coffee! I bet they'll still have free stuff.

When I first started with Flybe one of the blokes told me to drink as much free tea/coffee as I could because it made up for the sh*t wages! Going to have to use an extra sheet of bog roll each time now instead!

For those of us not up to speed on the current internal machinations of flybe, would you mind expanding and/or explaining the implications of your last post. I'm sure it would be appreciated.

I'm not the company's biggest fan at the moment its safe to say but to clear the tea & coffee thing up, we're talking about free drinks in the crew room, this will apply company wide in head office too, free refreshments on board the aircraft as far as I'm aware will still be provided so I think most of us can cope with the new situation if it helps save jobs, particularly mine!

How on earth can removing Free Tea and Coffee in the crew room save jobs?
How much of the bloody stuff do you consume in your pre flight planning?
If it saves 1 job, I'd be surprised.
Worse to come I suspect.

It's more like arranging deck chairs on the titanic.
Jack Walker would be crying in his grave right now.

Surely providing refreshments for airport standby crew is as much a duty of care as providing unhealthy, inedible, tins of cack and crisps when you're operating.
But yeah you're right, although I'm sure the company will argue that's what our duty pay is for unfortunately. We don't even have a tea/coffee machine in our base just a crappy kettle, not that it'll be my base for much longer mind!
