So if it is true or not I have no idea but do hope they find their way back to a job again soon.
There also appears to be one heck of a list of boys and girls trying to get back in the game from VANZ, Tiger and others unfortunately who all were shafted as well. I personally know a handful who haven’t touched a plane in a damn long time now, not for lack of trying their butts off.
I know a GA operation in the Far North area that’s received 200 resumes in the last year. The trend is the same. VA/VANZ/TT/Expat.
The challenge many are facing from who I’ve spoken to is age, on each side of the seat, they acknowledge they might be waiting 5-7 years for something of substance. However they are now late 50s or cracked 60. The chances of getting hired are slim. The wife is looking at retirement not moving around again.
