Maxfli, Spearing Britney and the other AL pilots,. .As an ex-colleague of yours, I too would like to add my voice of support for your stand. . .I was one of the cadets let go in Sept, and as I never made it back to Dublin before the chop, I have only met a limited number of line pilots. However those I have met were, to a (wo)man, outstanding people, very professional in their attitudes and always more than helpful to and supportive of us cadets.
I have heard a rumour that one of the demands of the pilots is a written guarantee that anyone let go now would get priority if/when recruitment starts again. Is this true, and if so, will the guarantee be extended to ex-cadets also? At the time of our firing, we were given a verbal "guarantee" that taking us back on, after sacked line pilots were taken back, would be the "preferred option," but to get something in writing would be good!
So good luck guys/gals, hopefully some of us cadets will see you on an AL flightdeck someday!
