Classic Freighter Commands.
I have had trouble understanding why so many seemingly good command candidates get nailed by the "star chamber" in recent times. Most nailed during, a couple after and many even before, the Classic Freighter Command Course.
Therefore, should I be surprised when GMA announces that because of the lack of suitable command applicants, special one year contracts shall be offered to mainline retirees. Could these retirees be members of the said star chamber or good buddies thereof? I wonder what pay band (A,B or C) these special contracts will be on. I wonder what seniority they will hold? Should it be the contracts are on "C" scale, I wonder if any previous years of service will be taken into account when determining pay bands?
Is this deje vu all over again
So many questions; so few answers......
