The just like the last time!
I have seen this happen twice before, HR departments confidently telling the management that they have 400+ CV's on file and pilots are two a penny................... What the bright young things in HR fail to realise is that all the airlines in Europe and quite a few in Asia & the Gulf have the same CV's on file.
It only takes a small upturn in the industry to result in the CV pool drying up very quickly, the older members of the Jet2 pilot management would no doubt have known this but the veiw that the situation was as planned from the HR department clearly prevailed at board level.
Just like last time the HR department has shot its self in the foot, the only diference is that by inappropriate use of testing the HR luminarys seem to have left the gun selected to full automatic this time !
