I really feel sorry for the cadets, its not very encouraging for them. I cannot help feeling that ALT, (who maybe not are the only ones) are using the tragedy last week to their full advantage. They this week can lay off people, aircraft and routes and the unions have their hands tied. It may yet be the salvation of the company, but I just feel management are taking advantage of the situation. I wouldnt like to be forking out for the penalty clauses,(or maybe I will, as a tax payer?) to the leasing companies on those two 330's they want to get rid of, or are they simply gettin rid of the staff and subbing the machine until next summer??
condolences to the fledglings, you will just have to grow up very quickly, spread your wings and leave the nest--but where to?
