do not expect to receive a salary before Spring, even if you have a proposition. Internal memo today alludes to the fact not enough pilots opted for the 75% "offer," so 4mths unpaid leave may be on the cards for most recent recruits.
Union are participating, but ameliorating anything ? time will tell.
Some clarification urgently required of what exactly is happening, and why, but nobody is telling the big picture.
