Pilot career development
Might we discuss what various airlines do to assist pilots with their personal and career development? It's my understanding (UK) that employers have certain duties to offer their employees opportunities to 'better themselves' in various ways, but that this seldom occurs...
If you're a legal expert, perhaps you could post some thoughts about what the minimum standard of such assistance might be (and some relevant references).
If you're a pilot or cabin crew member, please tell us what YOU receive or understand you're entitled to, and what benefit you extract from it.
Perhaps your employer sees the legally required recurrent training as the extent of their responsibility - if so, do you feel this is enough?
