Not CTC P2F pilots. The CC were strongly against this and I suspect that management pilots would rather not go down this route if they can convince the beancounters...it seems they were able to on this occasion.
I understand that many of the guys were ctc pilots we had to let go a few years ago (the first time we have done that and I believe that only 2 pilots have been made redundant in the entire 40 yr history of the company). Most of them managed to get jobs with Lingus but it will be really nice to welcome them back as they are good guys.
A personal recommend to the chief pilot goes a long way with Monarch. I would guess that the Chief Pilot has enough of these to fill any more recruiting this year. Might be worth sending a cv in if you have an A320 rating and a mate in the company who is willing to give you a recommend.
