Half Cuban
We are short of F/O in GLA at the mo' .three have left and not been replaced yet (they may be about to be ) .
I note that EZY have dropped the TRSS scheme for all applicants and are definetly short of f/o's . You may wish to try refusing a joint base if they offer it to you .
i know it's difficult to stand up to them but in the current climate where they need to bums on seats before next summer , they may very well give you what you want .
You should talk to BALPA about this issue too , i know that they have suddenly become very interested in it . We in Scotland have been trying to get them interested for months and they now realise that EDI/GLA is the thin end of the wedge and if it happens here then STN / LGW will be next ,as there are plenty of places that are technically wthin 90 mins drive of both .
Look forward to seeing you in GLA .
