Interesting enough, In all my years of airline training the folks that seem to do better at actually handling the A/C have been the Turboprop and Helicopter pilots. Go figure!
Now the question is, Is the Fast Track to Command offer just a hiring tool? Are there folks that come in with experience that have been upgraded in that 7 month timeline?
Just curious, no need for the EK hating brigade to get their panties in a bunch! I'm just trying to gauge the level of fairness in the process, for example, here in Japan everyone seems to think that it is a straight forward process and that once your seniority number hits, you will go through the process and with hard work and dedication you will make it, when in fact it is more about playing the culture game than anything else! Resulting in some individuals that make it to the left seat that shouldn't be anywhere near an airplane, little alone sitting on the left seat, and some very good operators that are given a very hard time at the "Whack a Mole" table just because of one rogue checker that hates his life, so he has to make sure you hate yours! That is simply the truth!
Same, same or is it a fair but difficult process?
Again, relax with the hate mail, not looking for a job, just curious!
