In under two years time, the whole process will have to start all over again with the attendant costs on trainers time, administrators time, aircraft hours, more procurement when the original hasn’t had its five year expected life and so on. Type rating and experience from 25 years ago helps but doesn’t mean you can be recruited on Tuesday and be on shift at the weekend. We don’t know what was put on the application, location of applicant, distance to travel, prepared to move, where vacancies were he would accept and so on. Harsh but, business is business.
