Firstly, I'm sorry that you've all been shafted like this.
Secondly, I'm sure most of my collegues will join me in wishing you all the best and for those that choose to join us will welcome you with open arms; at least we might stand a chance of having a bit of a life with more pilots on the books.
For those of you that don't want to join us, good luck to you. Just remember:
Easy and Ryan ARE looking for pilots, but preference will be given to A320 series/B737 qualified pilots, the younger the better. It also takes months to be given an interview.
The recruiting window for the Charter Airlines is probably closed until next summer and anyway you'll be in the RHS for years.
Anywhere else, you take your chance with every other wannabee and 5000 hrs on a 146 isn't necessarily going to get you into Virgin or Emirates any quicker. Furthermore, the upheaval in your family life might just not be worth it. You'll also be in the RHS for years.
Flybe may not be the greatest, but at least they've said they're going to give you a job. Maybe you need to draw several deep breaths and consider the future calmly and without paying too much attention to the b!"£$%^& that all too often fills these pages.
Whatever you decide to do, best wishes to you all.
