Why would an airline pay for two type ratings, when they can hire someone directly and do away with the expense of one.
I think you’re missing the point there. They’re taking type rated FOs off of the Global and re typing them as PICs on the CLs. They are, in fact, incurring the expense of a new rating.
From speaking to crew at Vista the morale has hit rock bottom and they very much need to take some actions before there’s a mass exodus. Presumably quickly slotting in type rated experienced captains will take some of the workload off the very overworked (and underpaid) existing crews before they up sticks and move elsewhere.
