To JPK110,
If you are DEC, then this is info you are looking for.
There is reduced recruitment requirement for DEC. At least according Peter Bellews` memo dated on 27th Aug 2010.
See this extract from memo:
[B
]... The rate of pilot resignations/retirements (currently 18 out of over 2,300) is running at less then 3% of the annual rate which is a fraction of normal planning levels.
This has reduced our recruitment requirement and last six Direct Entry Captain OCC Courses sheduled from October 2010 to March 2011 are now not required.
For the remainder of current aircraft order, the vast majoriy of Captain positions are planned from current poll of co-pilots, with very limited external recruitment........[/B]
So, long story short.
No more DEC in Ryanair for foreseen future. Ryanair F/Os have turned nasty recently and twisted Peters` hand. So, Ryanair decided to stop recruiting DEC. For time been.
Question; What means for time been?
Answer; Nobody knows.
Offcourse in Ryan nothing is forever.
Another question; Would anyone believe in Ryanair propaganda?
Another answer; Take your own choise.
