Prostituting myself to a low cost.......
Handing over more and more money in order to get what you want.....
Since arriving in the market LoCo's have almost made this an industry norm and it is now frightening the amount of money needed for someone to go thru all of the flight training AND joining a LoCo.
"An airline desperate for MY flying skills?"
No.
I'm not very good and don't fill in application forms so that comment means nothing to me.
But.... with the rate at which they (ezy etc) are expanding i betcha they are PLEASED to receive applications from people with EFIS time or 1500+ with a bit of jet. You telling me they're not?
Sure some don't get thru but that is down to the individual and the personal interview / sim etc.
As there are people reading this from the EZY intervew panel, can they answer this Q? With a highish pilot turnover at the moment and a regular delivery of a/c are you PLEASED or NOT PLEASED to receive applications from pilots with the necessary skills....?
Also i do know a few who have made the jump. All are still well and flying regularly. Not sure what your point was there - are you suggesting that their interviews, type ratings and line training was infinately harder than mine hence the "different world?"
If this is the case then how on earth do the flybe pilots going to ezy cope?
Are they all just lucky that they are so much better than the flybe standards that making to the jump to ezy is not too much of an intellectual leap?
And by "training standards" are you suggesting that other airlines (and you heavily suggest flybe in your reply) have LOW standards in their training? Not just have different SOP's or training methods, BUT ARE ACTUALLY substandard?
Well in which case i will bring this up with the relevant people at EXT because obviously we are more of a risk to the travelling public and therefore have a duty to let them know how much better ezy are and how much safer they will be travelling orange, or indeed any other LoCo.
Also judging by your ferocious reply how about you tell us about your experince then.......
