To this day I am unsure if Ascents attitude is ignorance or arrogance.
They do not have a single person actually qualified to fly the Phenom. They have a few people who have done the CAE course in Dallas that never completed the whole course and don’t hold type ratings who to this day (apart from a couple of people who did some test flights at Embraer) have never flown the aircraft. These same people are being told to write the Training course because LM who are actually paid to produce the course have not done so. Those part trained people were asked to produce a second generation of pilots in order that Ascent could make the second generation write the manuals..... This resulted in at least one Instructor having the strength of their convictions and quitting.
Trying to change contracts of people AFTER they have done the training and bond them for a type Rating they don’t hold? Trying to change contracts from a 7:30-17:30 to 06:00-00:00 with no overtime payments or time off in lieu. Contracts that automatically elect people out of the working time directive (illegal).
I have said this before, expecting civilians to tow the line like military personal who have little choice is not the way to engender staff loyalty.
