So why do airliners ever hire rookies with 250h and MCC?
Can't airliners find pilots with experience? I feel airliners can always find pilots with experience but they stille seem to hire rookies.
Rookies get hired by the low cost airlines and the charter operations when things are booming and there is work aplenty.
However, as some of these airlines are closing down, or going onto skeleton staffing levels, more and more of the newbies above will find themselves on the dole queue.
There was a pilot shortage when there was massive expansion going on and it was party time for newbies - now, the squeeze is on and you will get dropped for pilots double your age with ten times the flight time as the market dwindles.
Try getting a job at a legacy airline with 250TT and see how far you get.
