Queen, you make some interesting points. Do you not think though, that the lack of interest in adverts by the bigger players and that of the North Wales Police etc, would have given these employers a bit of a clue?
That said what have they done to entice applicants? Nothing, they continue to advertise with little or no joy, but fail to understand the problem.
I am not sure that BALPA would be able to wake these sleeping dinosaurs. I would be pleased if that were so, but without fear of contradiction, I feel not. I think, as you said, the goal posts would be shifted and in addition inexperienced and unsuitable pilots would fill the places. A disaster in the making.
God I sound like a miserable old git. Maybe I am?
