Can't see that being a large spanner really. There are plenty of TRTO's. Many of Europe's airlines are hiring contract pilots who are being checked by contracted trainers.
Really. Well my information is different. The AOC rules preclude it. Unless they can get a new AOC for Belfast and all subsequent bases.
In any case, who will do the training and checking in Dublin Base when all the instructors there have resigned their jobs?
No strike necessary.
By the way chectunset - what is it you do for a living? Who do you work for and in what capacity. I'm sure you won't mind saying.
