Hi Cabair,
Sorry for what happened on your jet2 post that wasn't meant to happen at all!!
Regarding the RAM/Atlas Blue, what I have been told is that the Airline was striking because of Moroccan F'O's where not getting the Command rating which they waited for but instead they hired expact captains to replace them. I know they still go nutts over hiring expact pilots rather than there own but if there is not enough pilots coming out of the schools what can they do right? I hope that has helped you.
