Rumours can't be believed. You don't know where they started or if they were even told by someone in the know. Then chinese whispers takes place and you all know the end result. I'm sure most of the pilots given the circumstances won't need to re interview given practically all eagle pilots went through the R2G process. It wouldn't look good if pilots were made redundant when air NZ is growing.
As for recruitment, basically stopped I reckon. Guys on yes letters will unfortunately be on them for a while. Eagle crew will no doubt get preference
"10 pilots per aircraft? WTF, these aren't doing long haul you know"
It doesn't have to be long haul to have ten pilots per aircraft. You need that amount to cover leave, days off, rest periods, disrupts, stand bys etc etc. what it means us that there are pretty much 5 crew per aircraft.
It would be nice if people didn't speculate. If you know info and want to post it great but don't just say oh I heard from a mate of a mate of a mate who's fifth cousin works for eagle that so and so is going to happen.
Go get a life and show some respect
