When an airline collapses, Wings can help
When it is on your own terms, seeking and starting a new job is an exciting time. You can take your time to weigh and assess your career move. You may be able to afford to meet with several different employers before committing to a new role. You will be physically and mentally ready to relinquish your current position and ready for change.
But what happens when looking for a new role is not on your own terms? I have had the privilege of being in contact with a number of Thomas Cook Airlines pilots over the last few weeks and have been reflecting on the human cost of this recent airline collapse. Although airline collapses are not unusual (a recent article from Reuters details several airline collapses in Europe alone since 2017), the nature of the pilot job with its expensive licencing, recency and training requirements make securing a new job within a relatively quick timeframe essential.
We have pulled together some of our blogs below that will help you protect yourself and your information, to be able to quickly start applying for new jobs in the event you should unexpectedly lose yours.
