Rishworth's.......Don't go near them!

I strongly urge all applicants to Rishworth to follow previous advice and either avoid them or at least get everything in writing.

It may be common knowledge that when you are going to pay for an endorsement following a "conditional offer of employment" or similar arrangement that if you do not pass you might well "do your dough!" however consider this:

A captain with my highly respected Australian regional airline was recently given once such offer in verbal form. Start dates where discussed. On successful completion of the 767 training, the said captain was informed that the goal posts have shifted and maximum age requirements had now precluded his employment.

While the requirements of RBA have changed, the lack of interest/coordination by Rishworth and RBA has seen him left out in the cold, minus the costs of the 767 training. Additional interview sim ride tests have also been introduced without any consultation which he may or may not have passed after completing the endorsement.

Paying for an endorsement is risky enough, any offer you receive over the phone should be considered general in nature only and may not apply to you particular circumstances, you should consider the contract before purchasing this product.
