Thanks,
The ratio is encouraging, I expect the 11 low houred pilots are fairly young, but that’s not their problem, it’s mine!
I still remember the comments made at the BALPA conference about age and the higher perceived risk of employing someone over 35 because they learn less quickly (which by the way I disagree with, surely intelligence has something to do with it as well). It seems that life experience is less valued.
Still, I’m encouraged by the stats. I’m still not convinced that a SSTR is right for me, I’m still confident that there is another way, but we’ll see how this year develops.
