"Ultimately all airlines are commercial organisations and will take all routes to enhance their bottom line.'
That's what you would think, so why take none rated DEC when there were pilots from other airlines who were rated and more than capable of doing the job. This would have saved TUI a fortune in training costs. I would have liked the chance!
As this is the rumour network: I've heard BALPA may have had a vested interest in this, both at CC level as certain pilots got taken on and also there were more BALPA members still paying subs than if they had taken on from other airlines. Just a rumour.
Anyhow it's done, I've cancelled BALPA subs.
