ILS...nice thought but hell would have to freeze over before PM got his head out of his arse and realised that experienced (BOH) staff are more important to an airline than ex cabin crew/ticket desk staff trying to run a once very experienced well run Operations Department.
Anyone looking at taking a job in Leeds will have their work cut out for them, dealing with Crew who dealt with a competent & professional Ops team, who themselves cannot see the point of moving and losing the majority of staff in such departments.
I am surprised PM has not thought of moving Ops/Crewing out to India...a lot cheaper to employ staff...and probably service no worse than can be expected from any new department in Leeds! Unless this is a question they ask you at interview "would you be prepared to relocate to India?"
