Miaow...!!
Dear Max, Wee One , and 757 cobblers,
Not sure what your agenda is , but it sounds a bit bitter to me ?
I know many of the backbone of the fledgling Zoom UK and I can assure any of you that might be keen to join , that if you were lucky enough , you would be flying with some of the most professional crew that I have had the pleasure of operating with in my many years of aviation. The fact that they are also bloody good peeps is a huge bonus.
What is wrong with employing people you have known, and trusted, for years ?
The argument that the odd 'founder member' may have no 767 experience is complete bollocks. They all have big experience.
BA have always taken the attitude that if you have the credentials /experience to change fleet/seat then it is a mere formality.Thousands of hours on various other types doing ETOPS etc makes a new type rating a non-event.
Sadly I am too 'madala/mzee' now to get in ,but if I had a 757/767 rating I would be knocking on the door.
Somethings are more important than money , and job satisfaction is one of them , so join this company if you can - I wish I could.This could be the ultimate CRM airline. Watch this space............
