Crownie, wouldn’t logic and common sense prevail in this instance? What regional or ULCC/LCC is welcoming 60-80 new hires a month? It’s wishful thinking and holding out hope. Just my opinion, however the sim instructors and check airmen must soon face the reality that not many will be walking through the doors and that contract was a nail in the coffin to any potential new hires. Many of them are friends of mine and can’t accept the current state of bedford’s sinking ship. I wish them all the best and hope they run as quickly as they can!
