It seems that the Wannabes section is all abuzz, waiting for an announcement from Oxford Air Training
www.oxfordaviation.net this Monday about a cadet pilot scheme for NetJets.
Surely this is madness, if true?
The entire marketing model is built around security and safety.
An ATPL holding (1500 hr+), experienced and well trained Co-Pilot is always going to be better than a kid with 250 hours, irrespective of his training.
NetJets Europe flew to 800 airports last year, on every continent. They flew to some of the most demanding Cat B and C airports - generally with very little notice for Crews and training that amounts to scant guidance on the back of a piece of paper.
Why on earth would they put a kid into that environment?
Lever.
