Sorry to disappoint you, but is indeed fact. We are almost into just name the price territory at this stage.....
Perhaps Jolly I wasn't clear with my question
I asked you to qualify your statement, I didn't ask to follow up with a sweeping generalization.
My personal contacts tell me otherwise regarding MD80's (of the SAS variety) several of them made inquiries regarding various MD80-83 contracts offered throughout JAR land on the basis of what was their impending redundancy, to a man they turned them down due to poor packages.
I don't believe your comment of "name your price" carries the weight you seem to be portraying
Wake up. It's real simple, there is a lack of qualified JAR pilots
Couldn't agree more, however I would suggest that it is more correct to say that there is a "shortage" of experienced JAR pilots at the right price.
Some of you seem to think this is all some big conspiracy with an army of qualified crews hiding around the corner but who won't go because the salaries etc are being deliberately kept low...
So Jolly you expect us to take at face value agencies can/will negotiate competitive packages for aircrew's without thought to their bottom line..even if it is to their own detriment? Sorry but thats a crock
(you and I both know that agencies are self serving, they exist for profit, not to employ crews at high salary levels)
Finally I don't believe for a second that there are crews hiding around the corner, I do however have enough of an understanding of basic supply and demand to know that if you don't pay the going rate..you don't get
. To suggest otherwise Jolly is either misleading, or more likely better able to stir up the thread
