For the current period, I wouldnt think so.

There is a lot of training going on with new F/O's, then there is a requirement to train more training captains, then finally new commands. Dont think there will be a lot of space in the sysytem until the autumn. It all comes down to money. There are a lot of 737 drivers around at the mo, so no need for conversions. Those taken on without type ratings were contractual agreements.

Another problem is the new base. There is currently a glut of captains at LHR, and they might be attracted to Baby because of the transfer deals at present. This is the unknown factor, because people will only go back if a command vacancy exists. lf there is no expansion at Baby then these people will stay.

Baby does have a lot of good people working for it and they are trying to change things to bring it upto Easy and Ryan air. It might be a long battle.
