Airlines are inviting employees of the collapsed airline to fill vacancies for cabin crew and other roles.
Staff who have lost their jobs due to the collapse of regional airline Flybe should apply for roles with EasyJet and Ryanair, say the two budget operators.The British Airline Pilots' Association said it had received phone calls in the early hours of Saturday morning from worried Flybe staff.EasyJet said it had 250 vacancies for cabin crew.
Some staff had already been through a similar experience when Flybe collapsed three years ago, he said. When this happened, the airline shed 2,000 staff and then relaunched in April last year. Airlines are also determined to avoid a repeat of last year's catastrophe, when staff shortages led to thousands of flight cancellations, leaving passengers stranded and demanding compensation.Flybe has cancelled all planned flights to and from the UK after going into administration - affecting 75,000 passengers in total.However, most Flybe staff are unlikely to be left high and dry, said airline analyst John Strickland.
EasyJet said it was not currently advertising for pilots, but would encourage Flybe cabin crew to apply for the 250 vacancies it has at Gatwick and Luton airports.
