Ballyboley,
It's seems that you haven't understood what flymiata was speaking about, he was speaking about the cadet thrown out of the training before the line check, which is happening more and more...
For sure after the line check they will never throw you out of the company as you are not working for FR, but you will see slowly your sby's rising...especialy when your experience is rising and you are becoming really expensive.
In Fr there is three type of FO :
- The ryanair FO who has an average of 85 hrs a month. Fr pay them a basic salary and a lower sector pay, so it's expensive to let's them SBY.
- The low hours Brookfield FO, who is really unexpensive to fill the gap and to fly the long sector flights (>7hrs)
- The experienced Brookfield FO, who is really expensive and will be scheduled when there is no alternative and also they still receive hours as they are expected one day to pass Captain and FR is really in need of Cpt...
So it's happen a lot that the last category end up the month with 20 hrs and the first category 100 hrs.
Hope it will help some young cadets to make their decision... I really don't want to be in the seat of Brookfield Fo when FR will be full of Captain....
Regards,
