the article says 90% of network but not anywhere close to the frequencies
also it mentions 600 pilots - which means 1/3 of the redundant should know about their future - but they don’t, so-far it’s a hand full.
it also shows that they don’t care who they hire as long they meet the numbers
in general the article says nothing about the possible individual future and if this is not typical propaganda a lot of redundant should have a letter in hands saying “yes u will return, but the actual starting date might shift due to demand “, but that’s exactly what’s missing, which means they are not very keen on focusing on ex EK staff, just on filling the numbers to get 100 whales back in the air
7x looks into a long delay and 350 due to large backlog in orders not coming any sooner too.
strategicly bringing back all ex ek in the order they where before, would solve a lot of man power struggle they are running into right now, but that would require respect and loyalty in the first place, which these people have never heard of
they know that a lot of returners are not bringing family again, and putting them at the end of the list means they separate families unless they feel forced to breakup everything at home again, they don’t won’t people to commute and don’t want to just to such a need. The only reason is to squeeze out the max and beyond the possibilities.
yet alone the hiring idea of HH will put a lot of pressure on the workforce as the will be unable to fulfill that demand nor will the training requirement be possible
but that’s just my 50c on it
