6-8 months of 146 time and then on to Easy?
Someone above actually asserted that these newbie 146 FOs could conceivably rack up 8 months worth of jet time and then leave for Easy, Jet2, etc. Do you think that could be feasible? Only 6-8 months of 146 time and you would be that marketable? If so, why aren't more current 146 drivers leaving for Easy, GB or First Choice Airbuses?
I would think the Q400 would be well respected too given its glass cockpit and advanced flight characteristics...
What's the status on 737s for Flybe? I know Astraeus will be providing outsourced 737s for awhile. If that is successful, how soon could you see Flybe 737s on the property? Wouldn't 737s on the property be potentially worth waiting for if you like the company?
