Life is a weird thing and your best friend today may become your worst enemy tomorrow. Especially wherever a lot of money is involved.

Back on the topic of Wizz air, how's hiring going? Did any sizable fraction of those made redundant in April get their jobs back? Or just a small number? From my closest base rumours are that maybe a third of our unfortunate colleagues are back on the line - but not even one of them in their pre-COVID base. Looks like the algorithm was to fire people from some bases, then move people from bases with capacity reductions but little to no retrenchment (like Kutaisi or Skopje) into the place of those fired, then offer the ones who were fired and re-hired places in other bases. Which is the exact opposite of win-win for everyone involved - as a result of this, 30-50% of the pilots have been displaced in one way or another, and more often than not into bases which were nowhere near their first choice.
