Sorry Miles Hi, looking at your posts, I could have sworn you were a PARC man. I must be mistaken.
Bit one thing doesn't fit. A great bunch of people? Very rare to hear a pillot saying that to be honest. Look at some threads on PPRuNe, especially the likes of the PARC Jalex pilots one. Not too many PARC enthusiasts there!
And its not just PARC, all these agencies are the same in my experience to be honest. Pilots I come across very rarely have positive things to say about them. Their main concern will always be the airlines and they just pay lip service to pilots concerns.
To be honest I prefer to keep in touch with the COO's./Chief Pilots of the airlines themsleves to hear whats happening. I think eventually this industry will definitely go the way of other industy's, i.e. cutting out the middle man!
