I'm more asking about the state of employment at ME3, since B1900 guys have gotten accepted for a 777 type rating and employment.
Reading still seems to be a major problem on here ....
I stated: "
The step from low hour prop directly onto B777 and even more A380 is a challenge that would require a lot more training that the company does not provide".
Certainly B1900 pilots got offers, because the desired jet experienced pilots from 737/320 no longer apply, too unattractive the conditions for them. Cadets have to be employed here due to national pride, they however get a lot more training. If you would have read all the relevant threads, you would discover that i have always criticised this zero to hero career in favour of a step via FlyDubai 737. That would resemble logical, classic careers (and not what the butt stupidly invoked with his 777 circuits).
But making the same multiple step omitting incorporation of more foreign pilots, with very variable backgrounds, WITHOUT adapting the training syllabus comprehensively is what we criticise. They can all be potential astronauts with their skills, i didn't doubt that, but give them the training, steps, hours and exposure. If not, its the skippers on the front who have to deal with some lack of assistance and the soon to be skippers from the new lot will not even realise no more this lack of assistance.
You can blame the messenger and try to ridicule his contributions as much as you trump, the problem will not go away!
