The YAA job doesn’t insist on either H145 rating or NVIS experience. Both will be provided for the right candidate, but how many candidates will they have? The last job they advertised was given to their only respondent.
The reason they had so little interest is either because there are so few pilots or because their Ts & Cs are so dire. I presume the latter, no loss of license & only 3% pension contribution. 4 pilots in 12 months? Something ain’t right.
Similar, I suppose, with the Babcock Barton job.
And are NPAS committed to retaining all their current bases? If not, why would anyone commit to a company that may let them go in the not so distant future.
To get a measure of availability in the UK maybe look at the new pilot workforce just taken on by GAMA in Scotland.
