At the moment the company has placed a hold on all external recruitment and placement of Direct Entry Captains. I cannot confirm when we will be able to offer you a start date
Well, seems the command upgrade blackmail scheme is working then
It goes something like this:
We can't find anyone who wants to take his command in Spain, because the T&C's are below standard (only 3 days sick pay per year amongst others).
So here is what we'll do. Every command upgrade will have to sign for a permanent Spanish contract or will not get his command. As there are only 30ish command upgrades in the copmpany in 2008 you take it or leave it and wait another 1-2 years.
Looks like people are going for it if external DEC recruitment has been put on hold.
Off course most colleagues in the UK don't give a sh*t because it doesn't concern them, so BALPA can't do much about it...
