Sully is spot on.
Do air passengers in the UK know they could be on a plane with a pilot who is paying to be there for hour building? For some pilots who haven't been taken on by the airlines they can pay for their own type ratings and pay to fly to get some hours.
It would make a great 'panorama' or 'dispatches' program to find out what really goes on behind the flight deck door with regards to this.
I wonder how the passengers of that US Airways Jet would have felt if they had a pay-as-you go pilot on board.
And there are some good stories to be told about the quality of these guys, some good but some very bad indeed.
There's little or no selection procedure- it's all a quick buck for the airlines.
