SR71,
A possible insight into a/one Senior EZY pilots view on the matter?
Not just my view. Many others share it. It was pressure from the trainers that contributed towards the re-opening of recruiting to experienced TR and non-TR pilots.
Some of us will be fairly upset if the contracts offered deter the right people from accepting an offer. Next year we will be working with those recruited however experienced and under whatever contract; all we can do is report upwards about what we find.
