Well they can't really sell it, even if they think they have. Unless things change drastically whereby a new pilot has a guaranteed jet job in X years and if not is compensated then it will not work. People will still take the job but not for the right reasons and as an employer you can't afford this. Smiles turn to contempt within months and at the first opportunity they're gone. This clearly is a systemic problem at VA and needs to be resolved asap moving forward.
I've been watching the train network crisis in Sydney with interest of late. Perhaps someone should approach the train driver union head for their advice and possible representation in all ATR matters. Sizzle it will!
