Bilnd Beancounters
Having over reacted to last years events the beancounters are trying to avoid taking on the pilots that they had to re-hire on temp contracts after they fired them to quickly the first time !.
The whole thing is looking like it will end it tears for the companys that think that they can lay off pilots now and re-hire in the spring , one of the more enlightend charter companys is at the moment offering permanent contracts to some of the guys that it has on temp contracts.
The above airline has its finger on the pulse of the market and will not get caught in the bun fight that will be next springs recruting when the beancounters finaly wake up to the fact that there are no type rated pilots on the market and without the pilots they cant meet there contract commitments.
The hot gossip at the moment is that Easy Jet are about to take 60 pilots from BMI..........can this be true ?.
The bottom line is that by next spring the job prospects for all the wannabes are going to be much better than of late.
