CS - exactly, so much is up in the air (ironic pun completely unintentional) at the moment that we really are left with nothing but slightly educated speculation. I know that I have been thinking about contingencies in the eventuality that we are called into the office 'for a little chat'. What made me laugh at the brief was the guys and girls who had signed up for 6 years being told 'the next 5 years will be quite rocky'. Didn't instill much confidence.
There are a few ASOps going through at the moment, we have a few here waiting for the next course. The holding flights at Shawbury and Cranditz are apparently already filled to capacity, plus the percentage of current service guys from other trades going for NCA, plus the FW guys being shifted, PLUS the potential flood of Merlin rearcrew if/when it goes over to the FAA; we really dont have a scoobie what's going on down our end of the pipeline.
