It was, I suppose, inevitable that J2 would go down this route re recruitment but I still can't help thinking it's a shame. There are about 20 experienced, qualified and current pilots about to be let go by Viking within the next few weeks to my knowledge. In any normal profession they would be seen as excellent candidates. In the past in aviation they would have been seen as excellent candidates. But will J2 see them this way? I doubt it. These days with some outfits it seems you are only useful until your money runs out then its on to the next batch.
