One further problem the Dart group face which is nothing to do with the Jet 2 operation but will effect results is the Fowler Welsh logistics side of the business. The market is very competitive and in September the Drivers CPC becomes a requirement in Europe. Unfortunately this is likely to cause a HGV driver shortage as many older drivers retire early rather than take the cost and time of the training. Fowler tend to use mainly Eastern European drivers but even they are starting to dry up and as a result they may have to start paying more to recruit their drivers. I just hope this doesn't put more stress on the Jet 2 side of the operation. Perhaps it's time to sell and concentrate on aviation?
