Well said Luke Skytoddler!
I now no-longer work for the company and thankfully didn't experience the present Flight Ops Management, unfortunatley, this is a classic example of the standard of management at the bottom of the food chain! This management have, in the past few months, made some pretty big errors in recruitment I understand and this latest plan could be a fall out from their very poor judgement...
Loganair is a fantastic airline with the best flying in Europe in my opinion and some great guys to work with, but avoid this scheme at all costs - i'm sure most guys have worked out it just ain't worth it!
