We have a superiority complex? I think we are just keen on protecting the high standards to which we operate and not hand out jobs to people that have failed previously or were too lazy to put in the effort and front up for an interview in the first place. But lucky for you their ‘loyalty’ is now being rewarded.
The clause is to tighten up our contract so that no said, ‘loyal’ pilots can try and jump positions, it’s only for our piece of mind, as discussed before, the discussion in link flightdecks in the early stages of pathways about PG’s and original DOJ spooked us. (They only have themselves to blame).
Unfortunately some of these people who were wanting to hold out till their “Bus command came up” (apparently the FO role was beneath them), are now having a bit of trouble getting through the training and it looks like we might be heading back to more in-depth screening which we had previously. (I wish no ill will on any one btw) but If you’re looking for superiority complexes, you are looking in the wrong place...
