Re: No jobs for turkish F/O candidates
I am not against expats who go to XYZ country at the time of pilot shortage. Indian, Chinese and Turkish aviation has grown extremely fast in the last few years. Obviously there is a need for pilots in these countries. What I am against is people buying their jobs. PFT and PFJ (especially the latter) is a very unethical thing.
It came to my attention that some of these so called "experience building F/Os" don't even sit on the right seat. they are being called observing F/Os.
What pisses me off people savind every quid or dime to get the experience, building time by instructing or doing some other type off odd work are being sidelined by the people who can fork out 32,000 EUROs.
I know life is not fair, I know you have to roll with the punches, but when the CAA of your own country is tilting the playing field 80 degrees in favor of Spaniards, French, etc. ; it becomes an uphill battle..
Cheers..
