Hi,
I agree this is complete madness. It is not only a disgrace towards the owners but a search for a crash. Line trainers are already fighting to get 1500hour guys released and some are even considering resigning from this function. Is it worth loosing your licence our worse your life for...10%!
Ab initios will just generate more problems than they will help.
So far mentionning ab initios was a joke amongst us. Now we do not laugh anymore...we are scared.
This is a sign of panic sent by the management.
For the ones considering to apply...good luck you have a long long harsh way to go!
