Notice to EI pilots from CEO
NOTICE TO PILOTS FROM CEO
Rehire of former Cadet Pilots
As you are aware we have committed to the purchase of two additional A330 aircraft, which are due for delivery in 2007. In addition we are in the process of sourcing two more A320 aircraft. In the past number of weeks a comprehensive plan has been developed to address the training and resource requirements, and pilot numbers will be increasing in line with the growing fleet.
I am pleased to announce that we are now in a position to honour the commitment made to the former cadets in 2001. It is hoped that many will take up their positions with Aer Lingus in the coming months.
The Company will be initiating contact with this group starting today and training is scheduled to commence from July.
I am sure you will agree that this is a very positive development for Aer Lingus and we can look forward to welcoming the former cadets on to the line, as we work together to meet the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.

I guess this says it all...urgently time for recruitment managers to grow up and take their business serious if they want one last piece of the cake before the wannabe market completely vanishes in the coming years with 0 candidates since JAA and privatisation made pilot training much too expensive.
