Thanks a million for telling me all about the way that the company I fly for i.e. DHL..... does things!
Ginny may well be correct in her attestations that no low hours guys will be taken on for 4 years. After all, I know she is the lady in charge of handing jobs out.
However the recent cadet intake has proven successful by all accounts ( I was in the sim this week, and a senior trainer told me this) so, it may not be quite four years in my opinion. After all, these guys earn £15000 a year less than most FO's in DHL.....so it is attractive to the company to employ them.
So, I suspect Ginny was really saying "no promises, don't get your hopes up".......
As for people leaving? Well, DHL, like all airlines in a foodchain. There are better companies to work for. There are worse companies to work for. What is a fact is that permanent nights do not suit everyone, and pilots do not have to rely on the 757 type rating for a job. Several have left DHL lately for new operators and new type ratings.
