That will be interesting with every other airline seeking to do exactly the same to meet their crewing requirements.
Where is the available sim time?
Available sim instructors?
A very pertinent comment. There is no easy fix. From sources inside Qantas, a really interesting 'specimen' is the 'stream leader' for this little pilot school project. Amusingly with a large ego to support, the scale and scope of the structural shortage may be well beyond the capability of this interesting character. It ought be remembered that Mr Joyce is a very autocratic type individual, quick tempered and it is possible Andrew David is so worried for his tenure, the potential type freeze and expansion of the skilled shortage narrative is more about personal survival than a real solution. They are, as pilots here attest, well dis-connected from actual reality in fort Fumble
Mr Joyce has a knack for putting whole companies off side. The 787 training requirement that Qantas wanted to procure externally was never secured. Rather amusing story from connections involved with Qantas' last bungled attempts to secure simulator capacity.
