farrari,
Just what I heard from a collegue today! Apparently some of the new hires at VOZ have been contacted with that suggestion.
They are all Cruise F/O's, Junior F/O's, Second Officers, or whatever the HR department chooses to call them. At least 3 of whom I know, although highly experienced in their own right, but not fitting the correct profile for a window seat, have been told (cryptically) that they may seek other opportunities if they wish!
Now, you draw your own conclusions, but it seems to me as though VOZ may end up with a number of expat Captains, a sh!tload of 2nd Officers, but very few willing to commit to the right seat on the apallingly low package on offer. End Result, an over-supply of back seaters for whom VOZ have already given an undertaking to employ! Wouldn't be a good look if they have to retrench a stack of pilots before they even start!
This is a rumour network, and the information comes to me second hand, so someone in the know might like to elaborate?
