Don't read too much into this rumour of redundancies...frank pullman is an extremely competent manager and a real peoples person,the type of manager we would all do well to have heading our company operation.the deciding factor will be this summers operating performance in the inclusive holiday market,which is being well and trully squeezed by the locost flight only operators.if losses are inevitable then cutbacks will have to be made and any serious reduction in flight operations will have to lead to a head count reduction.the upside of this market shift,is that the capacity lost in the inclusive tour market will be taken up by the flight only experts,with the obvious demand in their flight ops departments.the airline industry has never been more fluid than at present and we all have to be prepared to make a move as and when the market changes.gone are the days of a job for life with steady promotion and a fat pension pot at the end.
