Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth going on here. It seems people who arent even employed by QFlink are suffering from managements reactive approach to challenges in the industry. It wont get any better once your in. These guys are chasing their tails. At the moment there is a glut of FO's and not enough Captains. The training focus is now on upgrading FO's to command which has been on the back burner for the last year due to the mad rush of getting new recruits. The TSV refueller tells me that once the balance is restored maybe recruits will be the focus again.

There is apparently still a few dudes to go to Virgin so there is still some movement left. Also expect a massive rate of attrition around January 2010 when alot of the ancient ones depart for the retirement golf course.
