Well said Danny
I hope you will allow me a little latitude, given the circumstances.
Are we a scam? Do we place pilots?
As of today I am looking for the following;
2 X B737 NG captains...Immediate start.
4 X F100 TRE's and Captains
2 X ATR TRE's
Can I find them? No!
At this time in the winter period in EU?....What does that tell you guys out there? Now is the time to get yourselves ready, for sure.
February, last year, I could 'shake the tree' and got no end of qualified Airbus guys falling out..... 3 months later, I could not fill orders I had. The pilots were not there!
As to how dangerous it is filling the positions with minimum hour guys, go think on. Every airline has to maintain a sufficient level of experience. Those that will accept a wanabee pilot are in fact doing you all wanabees a favour! They don't NEED you , but invariably acept that they would like you. They can only dilute their overall experience level to certain standard, acceptable to the authorities.
As always, they can only accept a certain percentage of 'inexperienced pilots'.
