Wynsocks' post about the strategic error made by QL management in introducing a $10K price tag on the job hits the nail on the head.
'..as per industry standard we will now require new recriuts to subsidise the cost of the DHC8 rating..blah blah blah' came the shamefull announcement from Easterns/Sunstate flight ops management moles.
Short termism at it's finest and as Wynsock points out it attracts short term employees, who can blame them? $40K to live on in Sydney, paying back the bank the $10K.
Some pilots would be happy to trade conditions and lifestyle but not if there's an admission charge to sit in the front end.
