Re: Mount Cook - email to pilot group from LOM, saying there were plans to park an ATR from July which would put the roster 7 pilots over and there should be a sign off soon to replace the fixed base sim with a electric motion sim, to be on-line early 2010, that'll create another 7 excess pilots due to not travelling to BKK. So 14 pilots in the firing line. Some junior co's have been rung as well and told to not go making or committing to large financial transactions etc... I guess the new Gm will tackle this when she comes on board in june
S2K it's not really the place to quote LOM on said email!!! This email was put out as a possible scenario and has not been discussed with the union at this stage (this must be done before they even go about contacting crew
)
Now when and if we park up this ATR in July and when and if they sign off on the sim (looking more like mid 2010 according to the man in charge of it) we will be overstaffed but we also know 12 months is a long time in aviation
