Re: Jet2 757 Fleet?
I’m not sure my last post was prejudging the outcome of the Helios accident enquiry.
The facts are that at JET2 a much respected trainer (now resigned) suspended this pilot from line flying, following a line check. Within hours this decision was overruled by the FOD and the pilot was put back on the line at a different base. No sim, no further line check, just off you go!
It is indeed unusual for a management pilot to enter a public forum and discus issues such as this. I am therefore sceptical that MFB is who he says he is. However if he is he will now surely explain the ‘other side of the story’? Perhaps he could specifically explain by what mechanism one of our instructors can fail an individual, record it on the T3 and that pilot still be returned to flying status without a further check?
