Now they're encouraging cabin crew to promote to the flightdeck.

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!
They don't even need to save up to 40 - 50 K, as in many of the East European countries, the government help a selected few of their own nationals with free training to their commercial licences. Of course they only take a selected few every year, but it's free training. And puts these in a massive advantage, as they dont have massive training debts to repay.
