Capt P
So, as per the netjets philosophy it is the difference that makes the difference.
I thoroughly agree with you. Indeed I understabnd Ryan now expect all non-rated captains to complete a season in the right seat, and as I say I would be the last to take issue with this.
Nevertheless, the question I would pose to NSF and yourself, is whether according to the same logic, you would expect to fly six months in the right seat if forced to take a TP job?
The question is not academic. At my sim test for Flybe, three of the four candidates were medium jet captains. The recession is forcing many people to take jobs that traditionally appear 'beneath' them and, as I have previously said, I was surprised at how difficult the transition in the opposite direction has been.
I guess it was the whiff of superiority in NSF's original post (not yours) that I found objectionable. I can certainly live with your quote that the "difference makes the difference".
