Well, I shall eat humble pie tonight.
It seems that we are to lose around 250 of our colleagues in the shake up currently occurring at TCX.
72 pilots and 181 cabin crew to be in the consultation process.
As suspected, 3 x 330 to go 1 x 320.
76 on longterm lease to Condor and Scandi 330 not coming to us next summer.
The only consolation is that there are plenty of boys and girls already with offers to go to other airlines. I would hope that, at the final count, there will be no compulsory redundancies at all. I'm sure that is the aspiration that the management and the unions have.
So, no, in spite of my earlier good feelings for the futre, there really will be no recruitment at TC this winter. Sorry.
Good luck to all those effected.
