How does it work on the other side?
Just trying to satisfy my curiousity. What happens to pilots in Europe when airlines downsize? I've heard the term "redundant." I'm a little unsure of the term. In the US we become furloughed. Basically, the airline cannot hire any new pilots unless all those furloughed are call back or our recall rights have expired. Our contract states that we have recall rights for five years. Of course, the airline could just go bankrupt and then all contracts are used to heat the CEO's mansion. Just wondering if things operate on a similar plan over there.
