You've got some good points Guttn! Nor am I with the company so I don't know if what you are saying is true. I do, however, agree with your stand on LT: It should be a TRAINING not a check. If you are struggling during the LT you might benefit from a few sessions in the sim, to pinpoint your weaknesses and try to solve them. I cannot see the economy behind putting somebody through 60 sectors of flying, failing a linecheck and then, as you said, back on the street... Costly business.
I have never applied to NAS, probably never will, but since you did mention the interview you awoke my curiosity: what was it like since you found it to be unprofessional? Is it just a mere presentation of the company or does it include technical tests of any sort?
You're right: there are more than one way to scam a pilot! Plenty more... Haha! LOL!
