I would say that the current feeling within the pilot group is nervous (the degree of nervousness largely depending on how to pay the bills), but positive. Fortunately, in addition to the obvious targets of J2 and TUI, there are quite a few good quality jobs out there at the moment, all looking for quality candidates to fill them. The industry seems to regard TCX pilots as being largely good quality, so this is a happy match. The first few are already reporting offers in the bag and that figure will ballon between now and Christmas. What has been interesting is that quite a few people are using this jolt to look seriously at some of the things that they might have liked to do, but in reality would probably not have done so. It is also really uplifting to see both the union and potential employers and individuals going out of there way to help the TCX group. THe small acts of kindness really count.
