This is good news. GF's induction course for new hires is almost a type conversion anyway. just a couple of extra sims and a bit more ground school and it should cover everything if the pilot was already high on turbo time. New commands are going through as fast as the training dept can cope. we also have a lot of short term contract captains who will be let go as soon as we can fill from below. all in all gf is on the up. its my view that if it continues time to command could shorten considerably. What we need is less of the bagshaws of the world here and more happy people.
