plus the E-Jet guys that now will need to find places on the 737
There are no guarantees that all the E-jet FO's will get a seat on the 737….with Tiger gnawing away at Virgin 737 flying now and more into the future, and not all E-jet routes being taken up by the 737 anyway, some may be forced onto the 777, ATR or VANZ. Company can always claim credit for not making them redundant!
So wouldn't be holding my breath about external recruitment.
