Come on and let’s think about it for a moment..
let’s say for one second that there are “captains willing to go to BA for 20k” then they:
- Have to pass selection
- background check
- Have their licenses checked, validated
- Have to be Issued a UKCAA licence
- Induction course / CRM / Groundschool
- OCC
- Security course / airport badge
- line training
imagine you have to plan this for 1000plus pilots while other airlines are doing the same. How are you going to get simulator availability? This will be a total nightmare.
This applies to type rated pilots. Flying Clog’s “A380 Captain” has to do a complete type rating!!
