These will normally be CC with CPL and IR, so it's not "newbie" CC they are promoting.
Actually it is a good way for people to learn the ins and outs of the company, I have seen many promoted this way, and I would say this shows real dedication and motivation, and 100 times better than some Compass test to find the "right people"
wanna trade? going to dtm on **** wx with an ex cc on the right with 200h on c172 that has a max xwind lim of 10kts on landing(insurance) is defenetly fun! you shoud try this! Divirting or having abnormals they help a lot!! Most people do this job for the wrong kind of reason, unfortunately not out of passion. So it goes to the can..
Sooner or later they will realise they need experienced people in the company no matter how many limitations and restrictions they impose. hope it’s not gonna be too late.
happy landings!
