Where to start......
Lots of behind the scenes negotiation re our pay claim this year, rumour has it we may be bringing in new, flatter, pay scales for new joiners TBC! New pension deal has just been voted through meaning FOs with long service left will see the biggest cuts. Top heavy on Captains, 10+ years to command.
As a result considerable numbers rumoured to be leaving for mainly BA plus a few others. This would screw the program for this Summer as our esteemed management decree there will be no fat whatsoever.
Career break folk have been asked back early without any penalty.
There is a possibility of some recruitment earlier rather than later, it depends how many actually leave, I would expect a mix of cadets and experienced 73 drivers possibly on Summer only contracts.
Good luck.
