The Cypriot pilots you are refering to were XL pilots and not ECA!
My answer to a previous question about Cypriots coming to Sunwing was negative because I can't see any way of them coming to work for now that XL is gone!
I did'nt complain about flying! Being on 700 hours now, a possible deployment of ECA pilots in Canada would create problems for ECA in the summer with pilots reaching 900 hours.
Furthermore the crew utilization in Crete this year was zero. Last year 2 a/c, 12 crews, 55 layovers per pilot. This year, 1 a/c, 8 crews, 46 layovers per pilot. I assume your company used approximately the same figures.
I also assume that the number of crews needed was added on the leasing fee.
I'm just wondering how much profit does ECA make having you guys.
As for the rest of your comments I can only refer you to my postings on the other Sunwing thread!
