FLAPERON Shame you didn't read my post 17 up before putting up your sarcasm.
As regards experience, in 13 years of service the airline, in one guise or another, has recruited in 10 of those years. The numbers always vary and I include all the different variety of sponsored cadets that we have had. I might be wrong in this, but I believe we had another sponsorship scheme running this year. Therefore, I would say it was not unreasonable to suppose or hope, for a limited recruitment drive this Winter. That is the norm.
Now, due to the state of the Tour Operator (not the airline, which is one of the tightest run operations anywhere) we have a new reality and things will be clearer on 11th. August.
The post I made a couple up was more a reaction of anger to the appalling mismanagement that we employees have to suffer, while we effectively take a cut in pay these b'stards are making millions...... off I go again. There is still no indication of the need for any redundancies this Winter. Especially with 60+ pilots on detachment.
