I see that you have flown Airbus for LH, and I was wondering if you fly the A320 for Condor now?
Yes, I do.
Do you hear of any fun layovers on certain beaches?
Unfortunately, few layovers remain on the A320. There are some nightstops on the canaries, those flights are the ones that get requested. Besides those, I don't really are about certain flights. The scheduling department does a nice job of assigning flights, close to all are there and back so I wouldn't think about requesting individual flights. I prefer to ask for certain days off.
How many do they want to hire? Interpersonal talks about 50 DEC, thats a lot.
(EAM was asking about the number of DEC Condor seeks to employ)
Yes, it is. But they will have to replace every captain that currently flies for them within 6 years. Think about an outfit where everyone retires within that timeframe. They will have a hard time carrying out all those courses, even with direct entry captains, let alone upgrading any of the "command ready" copilots that they have hired. Maybe the downturn will give them a break, imagine them having to cater for growth!
