A combination of very strong Unions & and the 1500hr rule, meaning less people straight out of fkting school able to sell their granny. To get on the first rung of the ladder maybe?

Comms from TUI management point to some significant upheaval for the winter 23/24 season. The Sunwing arrangement ends summer 2023 and they then have a fleet which is too big for the low season.
There are better gigs out there than poorly paid summer contracts where the pilot pays the training costs. My own outfit still pays for the heavy jet type rating with the traditional bond arrangement that used to exist years ago. Full time employment as well.

Yes, I saw the Sunwing videos, and whilst it seems bad, they seem confident they can "fix it" time will only tell. I can't say I know any thing more about this than the rest of us.
People on the starting courses for this summer season contract appear to have been offered permanent contracts on "PPY50".

It’s still not ideal. People trying to get mortgages etc. Laughed out of the bank with that contract.

Are TUI now paying the price for their “interesting” recruitment policy? I’m aware we have a perfect storm with half term etc and it’s a cabin crew shortage as well, but they (and EZY) seem to have been particularly hard hit. Will this force a review by their HR department?
