So any word is out from Sri Lankan Airlines for recruiting pilots ?

They are training/recruiting cadets. They are losing people faster than they can replace them. 65+ people represents 3 years training capacity.

It's the best people who are leaving - met one of them in Paris a few months ago. No Airline can afford to have this happen.

You can't replace experienced Captains with cadets.

True, It appears to be SriLankan will have 16/153 for A321s and four new A320s going to be reconfigured as 16/120 to allow more leg room in business class. More leg room is essential for these A32Series as they are operating overnight flights to Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai, Muscat, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. These former Qatar A321s going to be leased for four years and they will be replaced by A321 NEOS in the future. 4R-ABR is going to replace 4R-ABJ. Do you know which airline is going to take over 4R-ABJ ?

I heard Stansted based Titan Airways to take delivery of SriLankan's 4R-ABJ in November 2014.

Perhaps 4R-MRE and 4R-ALD are undergoing C-Check. It's better for them to complete the maintanance for one or two aircraft before November/December when they are planning return 4R-ABJ and 4R-ADA from the fleet.

Thanks

Is it true British Airways is not allowed to do the LHR-CMB route. Its blocked by SL, to "preserve the national carrier".

British Airways says the decision to cancel flights to Sri Lanka was not related to political issues in Sri Lanka but purely on non-profitability : http://colombogazette.com/2014/10/12...nd-lanka-move/

ok let not get mixed up; political issues above ref: to "concerns over Sri Lanka’s human rights record" not LHR - CMB route
