A friend has been called by Alliance to attend a interview in BNE next week. Apparrently they cover all expenses of getting to Brissie and back, and he was told that they are recruiting a relatively large number of crew to cover small amount of resignations and overall expansion. My inside source in Alliance says that there will be multiple command upgrades on both F50 and F100, and all F50 sim training will be done in Amsterdam. Also consider the planned merger with Airwork (
Flight Operations - Welcome) and the fact that Alliance own outright most of their fleet, and it would seem to be a reasonably large player in the Aussie/NZ region!
