If this rumour was true, which I personally doubt, CX would be bighting off their own nose despite their face. CX employ about 36 cadet pilots per year. All with bare CPL’s and a frozen ATPL. How on earth would CX employ these individuals if they are going to make it even harder for DESO’s, who have considerably more experience, get a P2x rating? Lastly I haven’t heard of any requirement by the CAD to increase the training requirements for DESO’s or Cadet SO’s to obtain P2x ratings. By the way the training required for a P2x rating is essentially the same as a new P1 rating. The only substantial difference is that base training in the real aircraft isn't required.
