Contract pilots are not any different to any other pilots at flyglobespan; they have minds of their own...........if they don't like what's on offer, they don't sign up to it............simple.
flyglobespan has had dual basing approval from the CAA for some time now for both flight deck and cabin crew, and yes it is perfectly true that both existing and new starts from both regimes are being asked, if their domestic situation suits, to be dual based.
They aren't being asked to do it for free and are only considered for dual basing if they live within 90 minutes of either base.
And let's be absolutely clear here, people are not being forced to do anything, they are being asked.
The dual basing idea has CAA approval, it is being succesfully utilised by UK operators now, as it has been in the past, there are financial incentives for those who are eligible, it's a win win for all involved, so what's the big deal ?
