Again these mods are clearly have some issue with NAA. This is a rumour! It happens to have a question at the end asking if the rumour is true!!!
Annnnnnd it happens this rumour is actually true, NAA most likely will hire externally over internal crew yet again. It’s not because people aren’t interested though, they are using the age old “we have to keep our operation on the F100 running” phrase which has been used in the past. They could just put the new hires on the F100 and then promote from the ranks 100%, but this would imply a level of comittment they seem unwilling to show.
There are a LARGE number of staff wanting to go to mainline but so far the only ones that have got the tick are female. There are still plenty of people wanting to upgrade, the process is complicated by the training which involves up to 5 months away in crap hotels with no provision to come home. This is something some people with young family’s are not able to do.
