I spoke to several people who have had a "dear John" response from olympic today. Not because they were not qualified, on the contrary, all had several years of command experience and were typerated, but because they have been used by olympic to push their current crew "over the edge" to join the new olympic. By showing to their own crew they had enough" newcomers" coming to the interviews, they could put pressure on them to accept the new, lower terms.
This looks like a huge scandal , abusing outside crew for their own benefit, letting them pay an expensive ticket and hotel. Give them 10 minutes interview, then let them wait for 2 weeks to give the answer.
And if you look at the date of today, it makes more sense: today exactly was the day they change over to the new olympic and the day the deadline expired for the old crew to join the new olympic.
honest pilots looking for a job, used for political purposes...
shame on you olympic
