Hi Ralph,
Fair point - I'd agree with you in that regard. Should have added that I was talking about ga piston drivers with no more than about 2500 total... in that case they seemed to be called more in order of when they had applied, not based on who was more experienced. Wish I had that 2000 hours turbine so I could offer an opinion from that perspective...
The point I was trying to make to 152 pax and TL was that if they hang in there, work hard and keeps their noses clean they will eventually be called, so don't give up!
