Don't get me started on this subject!!!!!!!
I've heard every lie in the book. Latest one from the mouth of the Flight Crew Manager "we have no vacancies at present and don't expect to have any in the foreseeable future because we've had no resignations for months and months". Open your eyes then mate because half your pilots have walked/are walking.
And you're right, they don't seem to realise that we all talk to each other.
