Hello Severely,
>>If you do get in then good luck, but I'd be very surprised especially if you are holding an FAA ATPL license which is very poorly regarded here as elsewhere.<<
What an obnoxious statement. Why don't you back off and let this Canadian pilot persue his job in peace. Or perhaps he should get some flying lessons from the Singapore crew that draged the tail of that 400 down the runway at AKL recently. Where were they licensed?
Pilots are pilots. Period. Determining a driftdown point with a sliderule really does not impress me. My family goes on the jet that is commanded by the pilot that has the experience that warrants the four stripes. Not some wonderboy trained robot with a Phd. No matter where they are originally licensed. Get a grip and grow up. Your lucky to get this Captain and his experience. You need it.
