-I'm surprised also. Looks like another of those 'green shoots of recovery' that them politicians keep quacking on about:rolleyes:

-Yes it's happening, mainly made up of pilots, cabin crew & engineers. We've started the 90 day consultation period already.

-Well, fingers crossed for you Deano. I take it will be LIFO?

-Thanks threespool, we shall see what happens. As for LIFO, it's illegal to use it as a single entity for redundancies.

-A real shame that Flybe find themselves in this position, I fly with them regularly and really rate them.
I've been in that position several times over the years and it's not pleasant.
The article I had seen implied that the 'back office' would be most affected so surprised to hear it's mostly 'front of shop'.
Wishing you (and your colleagues) the best of luck Deano. Keep us informed.

-Flew on them last Friday evening from Manchester to Edinburgh, and back Sunday afternoon, both flights half full.

Yes, I will say I have flown SOU GLA, LGW BHD, BHD GLA and LGW NCL several times each in the last year and have seldom seen an aircraft anything like full, usually less than half, whereas my BA flights over the same period have without exception been full to capacity.

I have to say that I am kind of shocked. I've always been under the impression Flybe were doing quite well, particularly with the expansion into Finland.
