Guys,
the facts as it stands,
1. no more new starts from the pool until further notice
2. 330's have been pushed back until 2009(but this might move again as if they where serious orders would have been placed or contracts signed but I wouldnt hold my breath and put options change at the end of 2008).
3. only a couple have resigned over the last month.
4. Yes BMED guys will run with it until they see how the rosters turn out( but it will take at least 6 months for a fair view on the type of rosters they are likely to get, and virgin have stopped all recruitment for consolidation purposes!
5. over crewed in the winter and a notice for unpaid leave sent out last week!
The guy in charge of pilot numbers rose highly to the challange after the expansion plans where released and started a well oiled recruitment machine. He had it up and running in a short space of time only to have the wind taken from his sail in typical BM style.
Sorry to make it seem doom and gloom but rather than giving you the sunshine treatment cold hard facts are sometimes better!
They are still fine to work for ( not the best but far from the worst!)but having been here a long time ive learnt the hard way and to not believe it until its on your doorstep
regards
Keepitlit
