Will require airlines to not demand recent time on type.
I don’t see much poaching going on between airlines for a while. Most pilots will be thankful to stay in whatever job they have; seeing the benefit of job security.
Therefore most new hires will be way out of recency.
To that end, the best bet is for former employers to take back those they had to let go.
I also think airlines may be surprised of how few come back after a couple years out.
1) Too old.
2) Early retirement
3) New Employer
4) New profession
5) New roots somewhere
6) Change in priorities (family, sleep etc)
I personally would dread working through the night again after having 5 months off flying; They will have to make it worth my while.
Those managers thinking they will snap their fingers and hand out reduced contracts to rejoiners may be in for a shock.
