BlueBaron,
This is what I am led to believe:
1) The jmc pilots may join on a TEMPORARY secondment to help BY over the winter as BY will be short, with their crew hungry HAJJ period.
2) BY will advertise in a few weeks/days for TYPE RATED pilots. They need to recruit up to 24 permanent pilots.
3) There is a (small?) possibility of a small number of the final potential redundees at jmc being offered preferential interview dates to ensure quick joining for PERMANENT jobs.
Not good news if you are in the hold pool I fear, however things are picking up generally it would seem!
