From this point forward the service we provide is both safer for pilots....
What makes it "safer"?
Never seen any evidence of it being unsafe. So what has happened to back up a claim of it being safer than before?
The same overtime requirements and so called lack of staff as there was in January and now a training requirement on top.
Direct entries need training and consolidation, students require extensive training and how many trainees will there be if you have 24 direct entries quickly followed by 2 large student classes?
You must have plenty of spare staff available to do that extra training........or will they do that as overtime.
How long before OJTI's start complaining that they are spending too much time training?
Never mind DE recruitment. Where is the training recruitment?????
---------
Gentleman's agreement = recruit the ex militaire from the regionals and have the current military go there. They will have validated civil experience long before the IAA have recruited 22 DEs and thus will be able to apply
