All part of the plan

Brilliant 🤣

LOL.... oh dear, they didn't last long..!

Poor Birmingham...

NHS staff and Teachers take note. This is what happens when you work for a failing private business that has to make money for profit, as opposed to being employed by a public body that just asks for more money from the Govt.

[@apocalypticweasel9078]

are you saying that nhs staff and teachers should not get more money, i mean lets look at flyb for a second why was tax payers money pumped in to prop up a business that was already on the ropes in the first place a total waste of tax payers money which could have gone to nhs staff and teachers

With everything going on right now, the best decision to be on any creative man's heart is having a profitable investment strategy.

Investing is the code for having a successful financial life, investing with the right expert would free you from modern financial slavery.
Investing in crypto now is really cool especially with the current price in the market for now

[@damiansokratis6928]

Even with the current dip in the market I'm still glad can smile back at my portfolio of $32,500 built from my weekly trade, all thanks to my advisor fergus Waylen

[@georgebasonathan4784]

@@nissan38p69 I definitely agree this current DIP is a huge opportunity to buy the DIP and also high volatility to yield more profit for day traders

I have also been trading with him and the profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet.
Lack of trade discipline is the primary reason for in day trade losses. It is estimated that nearly 80-85% of day traders end up losing money in the stock market

[@betheluktu7647]

@Arun Please how can I contact Mr fergus ? I really like what he has done for you, and I also want to benefit from it.

[@dustersinternational221]

This is how to video wearing a SEAT BELT!

[@zurdac4511]

The name says it all: Flybe as in fly by night. Here today gone tomorrow.

[@nothandmade9686]

Nice seat belt quib.

[@angelofheaven112233]

Booked a 2 night getaway havent been away in years and have to find a new flight now to get there, such an inconvieniance.

[@ruthcollins2841]

Most odd as flybe was only started 2018 (according to Wikipedia, and went into administration in 2020! 30% owned by Virgin Aviation; 30% by Stobart Air & 40% by Cyrus Capital Partners under Connect Airways who are in administration too)!

[@djfozzi]

Wiki quite clearly states "Founded: 1 November 1979; 43 years ago (as Jersey European Airways)"

[@ruthcollins2841]

@@djfozzi Different to the Wiki I saw!

[@djfozzi]

@@ruthcollins2841 here... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flybe_(1979%E2%80%932020)
plus this page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flybe also quite clearly links to that first one 🧐

[@davidwhite5800]

Wikipedia as accurate as ever

[@mollienight]

Flybe started life in the Channel Islands in the autumn of '79 with the merger of Intra Airways Jersey and Express Air Services, initially operating aircraft such as the Douglas DC-3 and the Vickers Viscount to link the Channel Islands with mainland Great Britain.

[@Beckfo]

I was due to fly with Flybe on Sunday, paid for my flights on Debit card, the bank wont chargeback because the company doesn't exist anymore, and Flybe costumer services has not responded, what a shit show, welcome to Great Britain 💩💩💩

[@SAHBfan]

What, again?

[@leesimmons9091]

Keep GOING EASYJET

[@roseogrady8785]

Sad.

[@doyoumind.atall.stopspying5572]

So sad

[@jackhadroom4540]

Another blow for net zero.

[@mollienight]

I told an airline employee a couple of years ago that airlines would fold, the era of unfettered air travel was over and lots of airline staff would lose their jobs. It is all coming together, the abolition of car and plane travel, the 15-minute ghettos, the rich having all the rights to travel and steak and caviar. It sucks being right all the time.

[@lordveteran9126]

Yet another benifit of brexit? ... it's been working so well so far....

[@frankcooper6118]

Got nothing to do with world's reaction to Covid or 'Net Zero' then?
