Doubt any of the Virgin or BA pilots have a current B737 rating so this won’t be any good to them.
And Ryanair technically didn’t make anyone redundant. They’re all dutifully waiting for the restoration of the 20% pay cut they took to
help drive expansion and recruit experienced pilots save everyone’s jobs. Still don’t think they’d be tempted by this offer though.
A few ex-jet2 pilots could be tempted. Are there some ex-Norwegian pilots knocking about as well? If they want to stay relatively local, their only other option would be Ryanair. I wonder if you might make more money at TUI than at FR in the same 6 months (even when you start at -£7000).
