- The ability to demonstrate a high level of proficiency in English (certified as ICAO level 6 English Proficiency when applying)
The above is the criteria I met only to be told that now suddenly I don't despite passing all the assessments.
That’s not what you said, you mentioned diversity & inclusion and the question to you was what does that got to do with recency requirements?
My understanding is that it has always been VA’s criteria. If they didn’t advertised it in this campaign, it’s on them. That said, come here and blame this issue on diversity, is a little pathetic. It seems to be the trend here.
Tell me what airline would put you in a long-haul jet, paying for your rating out of their pocket with no bond, without you having a jet rating or currency on a heavy jet/prop?
