It's not likely to be good news

Mali Mali - you worry probably with good cause, unfortunately. The civil war between MAX and NX is apparently all but done - down to the mopping up of the last pockets of resistance. It is unlikely to bring with it good news for the pilots hired by MAX - at best they can probably expect to go through an NX recruitment process (and even if successful be expected to fund their own type ratings). NX are enjoying bragging rights all over town and no spirit of reconciliation is evident

The MAX senior management undoubtedly made a grave error underestimating the opposition and over estimating their own reputation and worth. However we may be about to see that bad as they may have been they were brilliant compared with the muppets who will now take over the show. As to the shareholders and board of MAX - a sad ineffectual lot.

Interesting to see if the regulators have any b**** or whether they are in the pocket of NX as postulated. If they are God help everyone - particularly the passengers.

Even in the current climate this is likely to be a sad and unjustified blow for the pilots promised jobs. As ever in this business the pilots seem to be treated as nothing more than collateral damage. I hope they cause some ripples.
