Total Meltdown?
My impression is that hardly any Airberlin , Monarch or Alitalia pilots are joining Ryr. Why would they.
It must be perfect for all the Airbus operators to top up with some good pilots, and routes.
It appears that there is not enough first officers ready for upgrade , courses cancelled and some not full.
Some Type rating courses postponed, lack of SFIs.?
Ò"Loony is said to have interfered directly with operations and training schedule.
With catastrophic consequences medium and long term, just to save day to day departures.
Base Captains having home office instead of Wednesdays in crew room, and full 5 on 4 off.
All the new hired cadets are only potential line pilots.The cue for linetraining is months and months. Will be some crying on the phone to Mommy and Daddy for more cash this winter. Tough luck!
A heads up to You that are going to Norwegian: Ryr has a Mole in Norwegian feeding info of new hires to Ryr.
I am not sure witch picture to use, but engine-testing at full power without oil, to collect test data on an new engine for certification looks somewhat appropriate.
Anyway: Storm coming, gone fishing!
