200 after all

100 leaving

100 pilots leaving TAP Portugal for EK.
Those roadshows made at Lisbon were useful!!!!

Companhias árabes contratam pilotos à TAP- Empresas - Jornal de negócios online

O “Correio da Manhã” adianta que 200 pilotos portugueses não terão resistido nos últimos meses às excelentes condições oferecidas quer pela Qatar Airways quer pela Emirates, e terão entregue os currículos nos ‘road show’ que as companhias estão a fazer em países europeus, nomeadamente em Espanha e Portugal.
On a quick translation the newspaper "Correio...." says 200 pilots did not resist to Qatar and Emirates and delivered their resumes in the roadshows.

30 delivered the resignation letter. How many more from those 200, beats me!

Thanks for posting a Newspaper article from 2010 Zeflo, very useful!!

As a Brit, I'm glad my Countries FCO has devised a plan to evacuate me in the event of an emergency.... Finally many years of paying taxes has borne some fruit!!
