If they were to make LHI entry tests exactly the same as DLH tests they would be creating another body of semi KTV-pilots ,who would therefore want the exact same T's and C's as their German counterparts.
That would make the entire LHI-scheme too expensive for managment thus rendering it utterly useless.
What DLH-management want is DLH quality but for a bargain price with no complaining from personnel wanting a decent roster , vacation , sick-leave and all that nonsense.
No hassle, no union-activity.Fly the plane and be happy we gave you a job.
Unfortunately , Italy is full of people who will tolerate this.
Whilst LH itself is recruiting newbies from their own Flight academy on parttime contracts , just to be able to employ them at mainline!
It's just a perfect opportunity for management to give our union the finger and get around our collective labour agreement.
They'll be very very sorry.
