Who ever is taken on to operate acft from Chester, if any people are required at all!!! Would they not need to be on a TR course now to make the July start point. Would it also be true to say that you could not have a base of crew inexperienced on Type? So If TUPE applied, and you need a broad range of experience at the base, crew would need to be moved from other bmir bases to make up the experience. If the company is running with correct numbers then these movers would need to be replaced by the new guys. So the EZE people would probably have to move anyway, most likely to Aberdeen. Where EZE already have a Large base. So Their ability to remain protected with the Chester life style would go out of the window. So in this case why would it be seen as fair to give a place to EZE crew, rather than the guys and gals in the bmir Hold pool, many who have been waiting for a while now. The Contract came to an end for EZE, Bmir won the new one. The crew work for Eastern Airways, Not Bae Systems or Airbus. How would this situation be worked out.
I hope there is bright future ahead for Bmir, The Bmir Hold pool, and the Guys at Easterns Chester base......
