There is a consensus that the company will, over the years will increase the minimum hours to 84 hours so aircrew costs will remain low.
Holy Smokey. This is so depressing! After you have invested in so much time and effort in the training process and getting all your licenses and you still have to work to the minimum hours??! This is such an insult. No wonder why so many unhappy pilots have left. My uncle would have done the same if he was still alive...
Thanks for the explanation! Appreciated.
