I don’t think it’s unreasonable for a 2019 BNE based ATR or 777 pilot to be offered commuting assistance should the company wish to offer them a job down south.
Now while they seem as ever desperate for numbers, if they had half a brain would they not just base the good people where they actually live and have been based for the last xx years with the company. The Head Office peeps did they get forced to Sydney?
The company here really does seem to be setting themselves up to fail on the Flight Ops front in the coming years. Will bite them on the @rse and some consultant will launch some cadet program again no doubt to solve the problem.
