JAL to recruit pilots direct
With the JALways pilots sacked and the first round of three on the remaining foreign pilots with JAL Express (737) and J-Air (E190) completed last week, JAL is moving to get rid of all ties with contract agencies and recruit foreigners direct in the future, like Korean Air do.
IASCO and PARC taught JAL how to handle the foreign pilots, but it cost JAL to learn the ropes, which they did well. The Japanese are good at copying and refining.
The excuse to finally terminate all connections with PARC and their pilots is going to be JAL's desperate financial position, and the need to cut costs and stem the flow of cash JAL is bleeding in all areas.
The revamp that should be announced this week.
PARC knows their contract terminations are coming, they just aren't sure exactly when.
