I agree with you ultralights. I recieved the email from sunstate regarding having to have a dash 8 endorsement before getting the job there.
It seems that you have to buy a job these days. When I first saw that impulse was doing it I was weary of this as I could see it becoming an industry norm. This idea is going to result in only poeple with enough money to buy the endorsement are going to get the jobs. Just because some one can buy the job at said airline will they be the best person for the job? How many poeple have I seen going through flying schools with rich parents paying the lot and being of average skill?
Imagine qantas for example expect you to have a 747 endorsement before applying?
I hate to sound like a doomsdayer but thats my fear.
Any way I can't wait for these baby boomers to start retiring or loosing there medicals.
go on retire you old *****s
