Slightly off topic, but I have heard through the grapevine that TRSS may be on the way back at EasyJet in the next 12 months or so.

I should imagine if that were to be the case then the likes of Flybe, Eastern, BMI regional etc may stand to loose a few in that direction.

How is this thread different to the one you started in October?

Most of the E175's will end up in Europe flying for an autonomous company (maybe "Flybe Europe"), and will most probably be crewed locally. Apparently there is a "big" announcement due soon!

And how often have we heard that before - every 6 month's we hear there's rumour of some Big announcment, but nothing ever comes of it...

:hmm::hmm::hmm::hmm:

How long before the announcement that they are taking dec with no command experience at there most popular base?

er, about a million years? Bit of a strange comment that.

And local EU pilots on the continent? Yeah, cuddly employee friendly flybe are just gonna love continental employment laws.

...again!.......

I reckon some 'stronger' link with either AF/KLM or IAG is on the cards. Anyone else?

Oh and airpasty......HR stay out of Pilot recruitment at BE, thank god! It is a flt ops driven procedure, conforming to the usual do's and dont's of HR HR-ness. One must mind one's Ps and Qs now.

As more pilots aspire to greater things............more sprogs will be required to be judged by the cabin crew.....for tea making skills.

AF/KLM?

Finnair. Will we need to recruit? Probably.

Redundancy my arse! 20 new joiners in the training system right now!!!! Although hear the mass exodus has begun in bhd so may be some external new hires soon.

I have a sneaky... we might be about to buy out someone unexpected. Someone in Finland... Finnair is too obvious... I reckon that airline we lost out to in the deal... Finncom was it?

Well we won't be buying out Finnair as you say ad, but something in Finland is happening. Whether it involves current crew or not remains to be seen.

I also hear alot of jet drivers have resigned in the last week or two with more to come.

If the exodus really has started (it seems all the low payers and poor treaters are having one!) then it's about time!

Bloody typical that we get another ash cloud right in the middle of our ACAS 'conciliation' talks.

It's all a conspiracy!

what do they mean by 90%? Do they mean in the examination?
