Apologies. I was sent info about CRS and PRP together and somehow misremembered. All of the CRS have courses, and many (but not yet all) of the PRP have either Gatwick or short haul Heathrow. Hope...

As far as I am aware, all CRS pilots have been given course dates and all PRP pilots have been offered short haul positions (although not all have accepted the offer).

Whilst the pension payments are not insignificant, they are a pretty small part of the company’s cash burn at the moment.
