Hanz Bliz. I agree with you there, it would seem very 'unfair' to those guys applying to mainline to be overtaken by a cadet with a tenth of your experience.
I just hope this does not really disadvantage people in GA right now, working hard and building up time to apply to Link or mainline in a few years.
I understand that NZ would only pick the best of the best for their courses, but I'm sure many will feel disheartened should it get to a situation where they have stuck around for a few years in GA and are suddenly told 'they may not be in contention'.
I'm talking about worse case scenario obviously and hopefully it will not get to that. As it has been pointed out in page one, they will still take qualified pilots, but I hope this doesnt stop.
