I know there are a bunch of ex-Mesaba pilots from the US flying Avros for CityJet out of Dublin and LCY. Were they are forced to take those exams or did they get exemptions? Sounds like it might be a similar situation - right? Could the furloughed United pilots be offered specific contracts with 2-3 year time periods or would they be open-ended? I suspect they would be bonded for a few years to cover differences training.
What bases would likely be open to the Americans if this did take place? Are we talking some of the outstations throughout Europe or some of the bigger hubs like STN or DUB?
