OAA must clearly be in SERIOUS trouble to be supporting this............desperation??? Or is this how they see the market place developing for their product (newly qualified (f)ATPL's).......either way it ain't good news for ANY of us in this industry.....wannabee or 10,000 hrs+ .......
I urge any wannabee considering entering flying training to speak informally to three, just three, actual operating airline pilots from ANY airline ANYWHERE before investing in training at this time. I suspect you will find our take on the industry is somewhat different from the spin you will be fed by the large FTO's........
Read HundredPercentPlease's post again please. THAT is what you will be looking forward to.......if you are one of the 'lucky' 20.......and over 100 applied from OAA.......
Good God.......
Please note - this is not a dig at newly qualified pilots that find themselves in a desperate situation, but simply an attempt to stop any wannabees getting themselves in a situation they had not forseen.
