If their fleet is going to continue expanding by another 10 odd aircraft a year until 2012, retirements, loss of medicals, upgrades of existing permanent Fo's. blah blah blah
How many extra pilots do they need to run a full service from feb - october compared with the winter.
Surely they will have to recruit from the experienced FO's out there at some point. If only to overcome the lag of training and rating a newby.
Plus, If not, how the hell do they ever expect to fill the void between the existing skippers and low houred FO's.
Or have i missed something?
On a brighter note. I was just reading Flight Training News. Every month they keep telling me that Europe is going to need 70 odd thousand new pilots over the next 15 years or so
.
We will all have 10 jobs each then.
Apparently.
