And to add more salt onto any wound: It looks like Flt Ops has no intention of slowing down Captain upgrade training, and FO training too. I just had a cadet pilot (he told me that he's only a cadet, not even a SO) on observer duty. It was brought to both my FO & my attention that there's no sign of slowing in recruitment. The only thing is the back log is very very long. This bloke, he's still waiting for his SIM training since many months ago and there's no lesson planned in sight according to him. And the FO with me right away concurred that training department has no intention of holding off upgrade training for FOs too. And jokingly ( not knowing that I'm on my way out ) he said a new local Captain cost so much less than me. I have to admit, I couldn't argue that one out really.
What a fantastic opportunity once again SIA Flight Ops management has been presented with. I'm sure they will waste no time to engage next phase of firing; right after ALPAS being forced to accept more CNPLs.
