Now they're encouraging cabin crew to promote to the flightdeck. I mean.. it's not a big difference after all.. between selling snickers and twix...all they need to do is save up 40-50k from their salaries and get the atpl. Then Wizy can bond them for the type and voila! This industry has gone to the can.
At least I get to sleep in my own bed. Looking for a way out already, don't see myself doing the 900h till 40 years old. I pity the old guys in here.
Happy landings!
Being a bit sarcastic here, do you suggest that flying is so complicated as only third generation pilots can do this job properly, and only if they start in a special pilot kindergarten. It is so complicated that no CC would be able to learn it. Or what exactly is the problem with CC trained to fly and being bonded? Is it inherently dangerous that we have CC who might want to fly, and instead of mortgaging mum and dad's house, they start working, and then finance their training themselves.
