Thanks UR2
I dragged this out of the GA forum.....is it correct?
"Just trying to sort out the HR system at J*.
If you join J* Asia you don't have to do any of the QF entry drill and you're endorsement is free, niks, nothing. Then, providing you're not on the ex-Ansett bad boy list you are welcomed down to J* Oz. (despite the no direct entry capt policy)
However, J* Oz requires the full QF entry drill and payment for the endorsement. However, there was a large group who failed all this, yet HR discovered they had made a crew requirement mis-calculation and shazam..they were suddenly acceptable.
And then there are the Impluse boys'n'girls.
Now we have J* Inter with a large crew requirement. Boeing is suggesting AUD40,000 for the 787 endorse.
Soooo...I hear that the current pilots (except the self chosen few) will need to cough up if they want a go at the 787. All new pilots will need to also, and pass the QF entry drilll plus pass the ex-AN boys personal approval criteria.
How many guys are gonna give up what they already have to put up with this, aaaannd is it just me or is there gonna be a dust up from within given all the different entry standards applied? "
