I was interested that the "
Curry Muncher " made the 71 NJet announcement whilst the Sunny pilot group is undergoing EBA negotiations !!!
Carl has been for many yrs now talking up the chances - to crews - to keep working hard, as we'll be operating jets soon !!!
What's that going to say to your northern pilot group after this public announcement in BN ???
Well you don't have to be Barry Jones to work out that this is just another kick-in-the-guts for the boys n girls at Sunnies.
Management might be thinking that the 71 will look better up against the ATR's about to start in competition.
Well this by & large was what the guys at
VB thought about the Ejet up against the Q400 & it largely didn't work...
Outside of government travel, the Ozzy market is driven by price.
History has a funny way of repeating itself & crews:
Stick to your guns, this is a good opportunity to up your currently outdated EBA as you won't be flying fly for a very long time to come.
PS: Could the reason NJet are after 60 additional flight crews...
