I too wonder about said pilots and their real reasons for joining 'The Link'.
I was at a BBQ recently and a few of us found ourselves discussing said developments at 'The Link' and can confirm that one of the guys present who isn't quite in a senior management position but has his finger on the pulse reckons that there have been a few guys join lately that have said widebody experience.
Methinks there could be some interesting times ahead
