757manip, captain douglas, 152 wiseguy well said gentlemen. Nail on the head stuff.
The argument that docs/lawyers etc get paid less at the beginning is horse$hit. They do because they are less use to anyone with little experience. On the other hand, an FO fulfils the same task, whether with 200 hours or 2000. Obviously the experienced guy is a whole lot more use to the skipper, but in terms of fulfilling the legal requirement to have an FO, either will suffice.
You people really are stupid if you consider FR's slave scheme even remotely similar to the traditional bonding method.
Finally, glennox,
if FR offered my a position on one of their TR courses I would jump at it and give absolutely no thought to the T&C's of anyone else.
, I would advise you to never express such a sentiment to anyone you ever fly with. Pathetic. Beyond belief. I sincerely hope you are not indicative of the calibre of the next lot of SS recruits.
