It’s simple fly1981 you can’t get the job on bigger aircraft because your experience is not adequate. Unscrupulous operators will risk safety and put unqualified monkeys in seats to save money. Shoot me down if you will but this was a contributing factor in the HS748 crash in George a few years back. Read the transcripts before you comment.
I recently got a job on a medium weight AC by simply giving in a CV and sitting the interviews, bear in mind though, I was suitably qualified for the job. Guess what I never paid for the rating, just a bond from my side guarantying some loyalty. So your argument is flawed and rubbish.
