So will any of those guys being offered summer commands be turning them down ? Thought not ... and as we all know life at this low cost operator is a veritable feast of changing opportunities. So the chances of the Summer command being permanent next winter ? probably pretty high given how much "other" flying has been sold for this winter.
So grab the command and then watch the picture and the shape of things to come, its not perfect on the face of it this option. However if it means no more expensive contractors limited to 75hours and perm captains rostered 90 hours sounds good, if it means some of the F/O's who are ready for command get their grubby mitts on the LHS it sounds good, if it means that we save a "boat load" of cash by not paying placemnt agency fees again sounds good. We all know those summer contracts will end up permanent in good time.. my advice grab with both hands and run with the ball.....just dont kick the ball into your own goal its never a good look !!!!!
