This sounds like a 'management initiative' which would make even Michael O'Leary blanche......
I can't see very many ME pilots bothering to stay on past 38/16 or whatever it's called these days - except for brat-breeders after BSA - if that's what's going to happen.
2000TT, 1500 as ME P1, get Air Law, IR, ATPL and it'll be "Dear Sir Richard" time.
