Yes, a significant number of us are indeed ex-Astraeus, the second time this has happned to us is 18 months. But also bear in mind that a lot of those in Astraeus were only there because their previous airline had also gone bust. So for some of us, this is the 3rd time on the scrap-heap since this god-awful recession began in 2008.
But there again, we have not actually been laid off by Mega, merely furloughed - with the expectation that we will be invited back in 4 months.
When the Chief Pilot calls me, I have yet to work out how I'll respond. This is the same Chief Pilot who responded to over a third of his workforce being sent back to their homes, by....... wait for it........ continuing his skiing holiday, 4000 miles away in Europe. Oh yes, he hasn't even had the common decency to send any form of communication to say that he's sorry to see how things have turned out.

Mega
The same chief pilot who has not been in the office for 2 months. Pilots were laid off although the Pilot Contracts are in Hongkong, 1 week notice is not legal in Hongkong. I hope nobody will go back to a outfit like that.
