Eam, that's the same info I have. The only thing is that for the DLR you mentioned, the LHI guys have had just the last day a different session, the role play instead of the group discussion. That's the info I got from a friend of mine inside the company.
I think that due to the investiments for the type rating, and also to not give the impression that they don't care about their pilots being fired, they are going to do something about it, like, lets say, give the chance to study german for a couple of years and in the meanwhile work for GWI, or one of the another companies of the group (not DLH, of course).
It really depends on the agreement between VC and the board.
What do you think?
