My personal feelings are the very things that are mixed... My father worked there for 19 years until he retired. I have many friends who also work(ed) there, some for Flybe and some for companies whose very existence relies on Flybe's, I feel bad for them and hope they don't suffer. There are also people there who I wouldn't cross the street for and are possibly part of the reason for the airline struggling. Swings and roundabouts.

Obviously I hope no-one suffers or is made to face hardships, however my sympathy is more for some than it is for others.

The other thing is my personal position on Branson dates back to his PR nonsense over Concorde. Petty it might be, but a principle I've stuck by for a while.

Ironically, using Flybe staff travel back in 2006 I got a return trip to Australia for 200GBP. Flying Virgin Atlantic...
