Not SFs fault I might add - it seems he has to handle the whole system single handedly.
Disagree
For example, several years ago I was told I had passed everything by Qatar and was likely a DEC for the B787.
Nothing heard from Qatar for 8 months then informed of a start date which only just cleared my notice period for my current employer.
Was told that if I didn’t accept the start date then my application would be cancelled.
I decided to stay where I was and very pleased that I did.
Airline pilot recruitment numbers change almost by the day and are very reactive to retention, new aircraft delivery slots, exchange rates etc - it is just the way it is.
