Wizz and Emerald join hunt for Flybe crew

Hungary’s Wizz Air and Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus have followed easyJet and Ryanair in calling on Flybe crew to apply for jobs at their airlines. Emerald Airlines chief executive Conor McCarthy said on January 30 that the carrier, which is the regional operator for Aer Lingus, “will be actively engaged in interviewing candidates over the next week”, including at recruitment events in Belfast on February 2 and 3. “We know how distressing this situation [at Flybe] must be for all concerned, and our hearts go out to those who have lost their jobs over the weekend,” McCarthy said, adding
