Captainbirdseye.........."Monarch is about to recruit 70 ish FOs on perm contracts from day 1. That's a full salary deal with pension and health care not a watered down B scale"
Yep.....that's exactly what I mean.....take the longer term view!!!
No point having a permanent contract with scale A, pension, health care, gym membership etc from the start if it is unlikely to last.
I should re-phrase my earlier post...."there are many naive players (who have not been in an airline, with a mortgage and family to support when it has folded) on this forum who are taking the 2 year view...."
For me, it would be a secure job ANYTIME.
