They just offered 10 or 11 guys. Are they doing more interviews?
Rumours in the crew rooms are they have taken on 10 F/O's for MAN base.
According to Union figures this summer the company is short of 12 F/O's.
I'm not sure if that 12 figure includes the resignations the company has already received from those off to the Middle East.
So that is still 2 F/O's short already.
I expect there will be some losses from those off to BA/Vs and maybe more to the Middle East, so I expect they might have to take on a few more.
Or they will just flog the rest of us to death, with roster disruption,max hours and minimum rest.
But at least there is the lure of dayoff payments!!
