Will AN pilots adapt well into Virgin Blue's operating environment? I doubt this.How are senior AN pilots going to fit in as junior F/Os, flying with captains who they readily despised as low cost=low quality operators until upto a couple of weeks ago? I would not want it. Better to have young, keen f/os from GA, who readily embrace the concept of low cost as the future of successful aviation travel.Its working in the UK, although anyone who has tried to purchase a low fare are quite often disappointed.
People who lose jobs are generally bitter, and want retribution.Is this the makings of a relaxed pilot, being able to concentrate 100% on the job in hand? I think not. Make no mistake about it, most the ex-disputers working in Europe/Asia are still fighting the ghosts all these years later.
