Question New Fordair BBJ Capt and FO Positions in Flight International - What's up?

Just read the ad in the latest Flight International about the vacant BBJ positions at Fordair out of Stansted. What's the deal? I thought Ford was intent on selling off or replacing the BBJs with something like a Fokker 100 or a B737-300/500? Will the BBJs now be preserved - for how long?

Have former BBJ pilots been leaving Fordair - hence the new openings? Or are schedules expanding - requiring new crews? If former Fordair BBJ pilots have departed, where have they gone - Ryanair or Easyjet?

Any Fordair pilots out there want to comment? Sounds like a great opportunity for a wannable BBJ pilot with 737 time...


Cheers
