Hi all
Repoman,commiserations on getting the PFO letter.It's not a nice feeling but I would contend that your training and experience will get you work before too long.As for the remarks that the other sections of the company are getting a better deal than the pilots,not so.A lot of people are leaving with far less than they would have got in more normal times."Golden handshake" is not in it.As a result of the redundancies,a lot of departments will be left very understaffed and this will affect future efficiency.We in the rest of the company have also had pay freezes,overtime bans,extra work conditions imposed on us and a lot more besides,all in the name of saving EI from disaster.We also have difficulty in believing that 540 pilots for 30-odd aircraft is an acceptable ratio.On the ground,morale is very,very low,something the pilot fraternity is only now facing up to.
Best of luck
