Airbrake; you have to remember there are a huge number of european mainland captains currently based in the UK that will be transferring to the european bases to be nearer their families, particularly the dutch and belgians to dortmund. This will clear the way for many more UK based commands. yes, the Uk market is probably satisfied, but I regularly fly with 3,4,or even 5 nationalities on board! Plus, unless the lifestyle issues are seriouslyaddressed in the current negotiations, there will always be a high turnover of pilots at EJ, so plenty of command vacancies will exist due to captain burnout.
