The bit about
These posts are suitable for job share.
is interesting ....

Does anyone know how that would that work ?

Would it be a case of only working half the number of shifts that a Full Time pilot would work,
or would it mean working half a shift ( say 5 hours instead of 10 ) each rostered day ?

If the latter, this would increase unavailability for an extra half-hour or so
each time, when the job sharing pilots complete their handover.

There's also the question of the additional cost of keeping 2 pilots current,
and the additional unavailability of aircraft while doing so,
biting still deeper into the expected "up to" £15 million annual savings.
( Then again £1 is "up to" £15 million ).
