Camelspyyder is spot on unfortunately

There are some very bright and keen WSOps (no AEOps anymore...) who have moved to new fleets due to their ac being chopped from under them. As they are wearing a 'generic' brevet, if they are able to occupy other roles and maybe even excel at them, then why not? Limited places surely means the best will remain and the overall quality/performance will improve? Given we were all in competition for places at some stage (Selection, AACMT, IOT etc), having more people available than spaces can't be a new experience!
Few WSOps Sensor guys have been able or allowed to move fleets, that is still a recruiting tool IMHO. As CS points out rather than balance out the new structure there are very few above average experienced WSOp Sensors getting flying jobs as the plan is to get all the new ones flying. This will bite us in a couple of years when there is a hole where the experienced instructor/standards guys should be, but can't because they are not on a fleet now
Most that were fired have found good jobs in the real world which isn't helping the PVR rates, especially of those that aren't in flying jobs
