I hope they struggle to find enough typed rated with hours on type 737 bods to fill these awful 50% jobs, sat at the bottom of a seniority list for years on end, listening to the regular diktats from management about how we are too expensive and cuts need to be made. I suppose there will be some people stuck out in Qatar or wherever who will take it and hope that 5 years down the line, management won't decide on a bit of downsizing again, time to make another 100 or so pilots redundant. Monarch and BA still see fit to offer 100% proper contracts from the outset - unfortunately Thomson, formerly an employer of choice, has chosen to join the rest in the race to the bottom. As you may have gathered, I won't be applying to go back - however I am fortunate to have a command with a stable UK jet operator - I appreciate that everyone's situation is different so I wish the best of luck to those who apply and genuinely hope it works out for you.
