...."and has lost contracts". Yeah, to My Travel I belive. Any chance of MYT taking up the slack, or will the price of converting NG chaps to A32x be prohibitive? Still, with a NG rating and plenty of hours, getting a new job shouldn't be that hard if you're willing to relocate. Or what?
Major costumer was Star Tours who only hand out contracts for one year, and always shop around for the cheapest bidder. Would seem MYT won this year; might very well be reversed next year. Operating a charter airline is not for the faint hearted.
How are Sterling's low cost flights doing?

The Startour charter contract was not lost to MYT - it was lost to DM and SK
NB operates 10 737-800 of theirs + 1 leased 737-700 from DM and a 737-400 from Islandsflug/iceland.
They are not upholding the 700+400 lease.

Can't see what the unions have got to say about it. If the company is goping to make redundancies then that is the end of it. If the company is offering a way of increasing your sellability, only you can choose whether you agree to the terms or not!
I've heard about this Danish Pilot Union which invites you to join as soon as you get your CPL. So what are unemployed pilots going to do? Go to work in protest?
