Sheepy,
"One thing Downwind. HignTime Pilots would have had allready had to react to some sort of incident , accident, or situation ( experience), compared to the Abinitio 200 Hr Person. So there lies in the essential difference, nough said really".
I agree about about expirience, but I don't agree with with an accident or close shave scenario, only for a few pilots from time to time over a established flying career.
BTW are the goldenboys going to Easterns/sunstate? (might need some comments from Hugharse)
It is possible for a cadet to go into the RHS of a turboprop, but why do QF persist to do the cadetship with the way the industry is in at the moment at this time, Oz has plently of excellent pilots with hours, so why do they do this???? BTW what is the history of the goldenboy cadetship.. serious answers only!!!!!
