re av8r76

Fully agree that newjoiners need to appreciate the fact that getting on a turboprop with 200 hours is a dream come true in many countries of the world ...but I need to clarify something here regarding the hiring of non-typed foreign copilots...two programmes offered by our airlines come to mind...

1.Indigo and simcenter: type of aircraft A320.

2.Jet airways and JAA licensed pilots:B737.

Both these programmes seem to be in the doldrums right now but the point being they were not recruiting for the ATR/CRJ type of aircraft....it's good that some sense has prevailed as the supply of fresh CPL holders has ballooned...effectively we were offering a cadet programme(fully paid by candidate) to foreign nationals which is unheard of anywhere else....
