How many AEU recruited A320 pilots are actually flying the EI aircraft?
Has the UK based AL A320 fleet expanded whilst under the AEU AOC?
Are any existing UK based AL pilots under threat of loosing their job?

I was of the understanding all AEU recruits are flying the 1 x AEU ad-hoc A320. Unless the UK AL fleet has recently expanded or AL pilots on a UK contract have been laid off, surely it’s just the same AL a/c and crew as before, just under a new albeit temporary AOC? Perhaps someone can clarify how the operation is actually being run.

Seems to me they are just working to ring fence “AL UK Limited” as a self sufficient stand alone operation to protect their interests should the mother ship implode. Which could be five months away we are led to believe.
