The industry continues to perplex me
They want fresh faced p2s, keeping costs low relies on have a cheap FO in the other seat
However to comply with OGP they need 500 hours etc etc
It's a catch 22, normally they would become a FI and hour build, very few opportunities there. How does a fresh CPL IR gain the experience demanded?
Self fulfilling prophecy
Until operators commit to a proper ab initio course the industry is going to be in trouble in the mid to long term
