Why would any A320/B737 type operator even bother with 250 hour wonder kids.
When there are thousands of fully qualified and experienced people willing and able to do the job.
Anything short of a full ATPL is an injustice to the natural law of upward mobility.
It holds people back in favour of a select privileged few.
And ends up ruining it for everyone.
Imagine if you couldn’t afford an over priced pretentious school like L3?
That’d be like you couldn’t be in the cabinet unless you went to Eaton.
Oh, it is that way.
OK then, how about you couldn’t get into broadcasting without going to Cambridge.
Oh, that’s the case too.
Alright, getting into government without going to Oxford.
You get the point.
The system is rotten to the core.
But that’s exactly my point.
Look what a horrid mess the country has turned into.
Where people can’t see and say or even allowed to think the obvious.
In the 2017 pay section of this site.
A F/O flying a Jetstream 41 at Eastern Airways gets paid £21,495 a year for 750 hours
When they have been Captain for a year, they should be ready for a Jet job.
But their slot has been taken by a cadet.
Theses same cadets then think they’ll be alright making six figures in six years time.
£100,000 isn’t even close in my opinion.
But looking at what Alex (Ebeneza) Cruz has install for you.
That may be the new top end of the scale at IAG.
At Vueling A320 F/Os make €12,000 base + €10,000 flight (900 hours) = €24,000 a year.
It’s disgusting.
Pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
I blame the pools of white tailed doe’s and bucks for messing up the pilot gene pool, and turning it into a septic sewer.
Bloody hell! You sound very bitter. You can't go through life feeling like this, do something about it
