Here at SB Airlines we are proud of our standards. This is why we are asking serious questions about this smartlynx fleet chief. We have found out that he has NEVER completed any form of instructional training! And yes he has only been a Captain for 5 years. AAI made him into a captain. He constantly gives the impression that he was a captain for many years 12 or so. He informs the junior 767 captains (who he is line training now) that he was made a captain with Air Mauritius. This however was not the case!! His integrity is very low or nothing.
I and my colleagues here at SB airline enjoy the Icelandair training pilots approach and professionalism. It is therefore so annoying that some of or many of them still sit at home unemployed. whilst 3 NON JAR pilots work here. The 3 smartlynx pilot consist of one PG who we have talked about also another pilot from south america whom ONLY got made to captain 1 1/2 years ago, who also has never had any training experience or instructional experience. BUT what is so terrible this guy has never flown ETOPS prior to this SB contract and yet (He was given 2 sectors by PG on ETOPS)he now teaches the ETOPS here!!! and finally the American Pilot also NON JAR is retired and collects a pension from his American airline whiles other European/smartlynx pilots are unemployed.
If they are not removed soon (if the icelandair union doesnot remove them) then we here at SB airline will take action.
WE ARE NOT HAPPY
