I wonder what happens to the poor mob who have left their jobs with pending start dates or have just started their training?
Will they continue to be paid a training wage?
V good question ( pardon the pun ) anyone care to comment ?, or is it like the salary package....a little embarassing
Why would they? Take your triple 7 rating and head off to the lucrative Asian contract market! For those unlucky enough to be left with a co-pilot rating, spend a few dollars and have it upgraded to command, that's what I would be doing! Probably plenty of training slots available at Silverwater now
Probably not much help to the ( majority ? ) of guys/gals with low or no jet experience and zero widebody : EG
Korean Airlines : 300+ on type, 1000+ airline transport, flown on type in last 12 months. Capatins : same plus 2000+ on airline transport.
Asiana: Captain, 500PIC on type, 1000 on type, 7000+ minimum. Effo min 500 on type
Vietnam : Captain, 5000hrs, 2000PIC, 500+PIC 777 international ops. F/O 500 hrs on type.
I would suspect the people with these requirements have been O/S and don't want to go back, the rest will not meet them.
Sincerely hope VA look after the drivers, but not holding my breath
