Recruitment
Evening,
Some of the pilots laid-off in 2003 will return, not very many, maybe between 10 and 20?? That would be my guess.....
There is no doubt that the company is very eager to get through the 2003 pilots so that we can start to hire off the street. We just have to offer the last interested 2003 pilots a job and then the first newhires will probably be interviewed. Sometime this year I think.
The previously mentioned number of 110 or so of retirements this year corresponds to what I have heard. That means that we will have to hire this year, there is no doubt about it. Unless of course we reduce flying hours because of the cost of fuel, terror or some other unforeseen happenings.
Another exciting year in aviation awaits us I am sure,
Regards,
