Time for up-grade used to be 8-10 years. There are some rumors that some pilots may be lucky to be up-graded in 5 years due to fleet expansion;
The training is in a chaos situation , that's why they stop hiring. A lot of F/O are waiting for flight training;
Tomorrow 4 new aircraft will arrive. 3 A330-900NEO and 1 A321NEO LR;
New destinations already started , ORD and OPO-EWR(A321NEO LR);
At same time company is divulging financial public Obligations to get 50M€ of financing;
Whatshortage, if some pilots left the company during training we have to understand them. Some of them have expenses, family obligations and can't "scratch the nose" and wait and wait , and live with a miserable salary of 1000€.
