I was under the same impression that the T’s & C’s are now identical on both fleets. So if this is correct the question remains..
Why the direct entry Trainers?
I always thought that Britannia (Thomsonfly as it is now) had exceptionally high standards of training, mainly because it had a high quality, high experience pilot workforce to select it Training pilots from, has this changed in some way?
I know of one direct entry TC who has just joined, I’m sure others will follow. Personally I’m not sure if I’d want to be associated with such an operation unless there were very good grounds for such a policy?
