With most of those, there is many months of lead time between application and start date, so the effect would kick in roughly when the max's start arriving in big numbers.
Are most of the people leaving, contractors or leaving from buzz etc? I know Ryanair is back to their old tricks with some of the new companies in the group, though is there any sign of them reintroducing the ltd company/self employed setup at Ryanair DAC?
I’ll be sniggering with glee
if they are loosing crews again when they have to scramble to crew up for the MAX arrival.
