what about the displaced crews ex GSM, Xl, Zoom etc
As one of the many experienced FO's (made redundant) who wouldnt on principal accept a temporary summer or a much reduced work the summer and get paid 1/2 salary with the winter on standby contract.
I like so many of my colleagues Captains and F/O's have had to accept employment in the Sandpit.
To do this we've signed up long bonds of between $30,000 & $50,000 for three & 1/2 years, just to keep the bills paid and to keep in current flying practise on albeit a new type.
We would all dearly love to be back in the UK, but cant help wondering if without a command (5-7 yrs) we wont get a look in because of the clamour for PTF low hours guys (not their fault tho)
