Easyjet changed their TRSS/DEP terms lastmonth giving more recognition to types like the 146. I wouldn't envisage any further changes to it in the short term. Although I agree with most of NSF's comments, the company is hiding behind the supposed availability of low houred candidates. This will bite them in the long term when they become even more critically short of captains than they are now. However on the other side of the fence, guys who spurn it now are cutting their nose of to spite their face. There are plenty of Tprop guys who bit the bullet and joined the company only a year ago who are now going on command courses. Perhaps the emb boys should factor in the 'boeing/bus command in 12-18 months' into their figures.
