GA Ready Training

Morno, Tossbag, Global.
When you guys deal with newbee CPL holders, 200-250 hours wonders, still living at home and still in nappies with the ink still wet on their ticket you will get a real idea of how little they were taught at flight school.
You say the flight school should have taught them what it takes to be a GA Ready CPL. Who to pay? You say that the new employer should wear that cost to get them really GA Ready. The margins in GA are slim and every time that prop turns over there should be a dollar going into the till. Training to get the sprogs up to speed costs real money, time and people. Something that an operator has little of.
I suggest you go out there and talk with charter operators for their opinion. I doubt that they will be saying that they are running a flying school teaching a newbee the vary basics of what a CPL should know.
Flying Bear made the correct comment that the standard of flight training has gone down hill in recent years. In part that is not doubt because the new breed of low time instructors do not have charter experience to pass on and the older breed of experienced instructors are fading from the scene. Those are the guys who knew what the word Airmanship meant.
