Nine forks
Indeed, apologies if my post was misleading. The EDI work to be done by Sunwing is in addition to their regular Irish operation. There are rumblings from Transport Canada that any reciprocal flying should be on a "one for one" basis. At the moment our crews fly a lot more work in Canada than Sunwing do here, so the argument could be made for using Sunwing for the likes of the LBA work as well rather than contract pilots, in order to protect the number of crews and aircraft currently sent to Canada in the winter. At the moment the EDI and LBA work is a" testing the water" operation. Should it prove viable then it could lead to more PPY positions being created, or more Sunwing aircraft......who knows.
