And now even Legacy Carriers...

Sort of Thread Creep but related to the UK economy and aviation industry:
A Thread starting in R&N with regards to a potential merger between Virgin and BMI...

Even these sort of carriers feel the need to consolidate...markets such as UK/European scheduled and Long Haul...

As a UK pilot community the choice of employment is reducing year by year...significant for aspiring regional pilots and Wannabes...

Timing could be quite literally everything, once the dust settles on TCX/MYT and FCA/TOM mergers in terms of fleet capacity/buisness stratergy in approx 2 to 3 years time, the next cue ball arrives...

Doom...Gloom...Where Will It End...Doom...Gloom...

I've gotta stop drinking at lunchtime!
