Given a lot of the TC bases were also TUI and Jet2 bases, I’m guessing those two will snap a lot of pilots up. Not the same rating, but still narrow body experience.
You’d have thought that easyJet and BA would also be in the picture, considering they fly Airbus.
I see Ryanair recruiters are trying to punt Lauda as an option to TC pilots, with relocation to Vienna or Mallorca. But Ryanair itself doesn’t seem interested.
Sadly, it’s true that there are a lot more experienced, type-rated pilots on the market as of this morning. Nevertheless, they’ll be going after jobs that typically aren’t available to newly-qualified pilots, so it’s not the end of the world.
