People Leaving Ezy For Greener Pastures.
1000 pilots on their books, an estimated 40 resignations since the beginning of 2004. That's a 25th of the pilot workforce leaving. Considering they are short, it does not look too good especially when they need to hire and train 300 pilots for their expansion plans in 2004. Something must give! Making the pilot's pay package and benefits a lot better or slowing down their expansion. A colleague on the inside told me that on the new training courses, 10/12 pilots are TRSS. No probs, but type rated pilots have dried up, what happends when these guys dry up?
Apparently management has had an emergency meeting not so long ago. Should be interesting to see how many people go when the airline market is once again at full strength. I feel that it has now done the U turn and will get stronger and stronger. It's just starting.
