A'men, 411A! Very far in the past indeed...
Absolutely.
CX hires Second Officers, then....goes around 'em and hires direct entry First Officers.
Imagine....how demoralizing is
that.
Now, some might say, 'well on our longer sectors, these Second Officers are very useful.'
Baloney, I say....hire pilots to be
pilots, not just sit there keeping the plog up to date.
SQ had the right idea....train new guys to
proficiency, then put 'em to work actually flying the airplane.
