EVS due to be signed off by the board this week for upto 50 guys. If Questor in the Telegraph is correct, TCX plans to downsize capacity and fleet by 25% over the next few years.
3 330-200s are due to be returned to the lessors at the end of this summer for starters. The aim of the EVS appears to be to fill the airline up with cheap Captains and less expensive F/Os with a longer upgrade time to the LHS as a consequence.
If I was coming to the market at the moment as a fairly low-houred F/O, I would get my hours at Easy or Ryanair and go to the sand pit tax free for a few years (Emirates, Etihad and Fly Dubai all presently recruiting) and come back when the UK market improves.
