Hello viewers
Can anyone provide insight as to why so many pilots are on the ground yet still being paid a full wage?
Why didn't TT establish a hold pool of pilots?
Is the reason TT pilots are being paid to do nothing, because there is a WORLDwide shortage of 737 sim time?
Why are TT still hiring, despite this worldwide shortage of sim time?
Is it ALSO a case of TT trying to uptake pilots now, and thus drying out the amount of pilots available to other airlines, ensuring the businesses viability in time to come?

Something just doesn't add up. The VA group are bleeding money unnecessarily. It's like big change is coming and TT, VA, and the VA group are trying to keep a lid on it for as long as possible. Oh to be a fly on the wall in JB/Blunty's office...
