They are over in the USA. Europe and the UK from an employer perspective are being too arrogant,

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.

Whats PPY50? 50% contract?

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?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but TUI UK and TUI belgium/netherland are two different airlines and has different recruitment policy. Only TUIfly offers the summer contract with the 7K bond.

Remember the days when PPY50 for 5 years was standard at joining…..
