At 38 and still trying to get the first break into a paid rotary flying position I've happily signed this petition. When I do eventually get that break I'd like to have at least a good twenty five years in the industry to try and pay off all my training costs (continuing health allowing). I'm afraid controller I'm not on board wth your theory that kicking the sixty year olds out will generate more jobs for us younger pups. Far from it - it seems to me the jobs are there to be had now if one can get the experience - unfortunately getting that experience is also going to take me twenty five years to pay back off.
It seems to me that the CAA is a shambles and anything we can do to shake out some of the crap has to be worth undertaking.
