What a sad reflection on this company and this director. The man is totally deluded and in one fell swoop has alienated arguably the most important single group in the company. He has completely missed the concept that an airline needs aircraft, aircraft need pilots and pilots need CAPTAINS.
In any other industry such rationale might be tolerable ( few but some ) but not in aviation as he and the company at large will soon find out. We will see how popular he is with his ground staff and office workers when he is forced to lay them off because the planes aren't flying because the Captains didn't show up.
Fo's and So's can sit back, spend your 35K and enjoy Xmas. You won't be working much.
