As usual a whiff of truth turned into a scandal. The 320 Fleet is actually undercrewed at the moment not overcrewed hence why there are guys on overtime! Good old EZY efficiencies over the last few months have prevented these guys continuing in the LHS because they physically can't roster line training. BALPA have been in the loop all along (I am told) and as far as the others are concerned at a forum last week I was told that there are a few F/O's who have completed the GB command assessment process and who EZY + GB Balpa have agreed a CPI date and slotted them into the list, they will be offered a command in CPI order just like everyone else. All other ex GB F/O's will have to follow the new NTC although they are not allowed to initiate it yet.
There is no scandal just discussion!! And yes i agree, this should be on the EZY forum.
