But he doesn´t think that companies like JET2 and Cityjet are so important that they can do so.
Hmmmmmm well regardless of the economy, I don't think you can say that companies such as Jet2 and CityJet are more or less important than larger carriers such as BA. Lets not forget who actually owns CityJet!!! They can recruit newbies from whoever they see fit and now more than ever. It's an employers market at the moment and will continue to be so for a number of years to come. However much all of us on here wish it wasn't!!!
Jet2 have historically taken low hour FO's from PAT nd OAA but this could change at the drop of a hat. It only takes one or two dodgy newbies from an FTO to get them looking for a new favourite provider.
