Hi FIBOD,
I,m sure that the academy is great for the cadets and associated airlines but you miss my point.
Cheap labour being placed into the jobs many established pilots aspire to attain can only damage the market.
If there is little pilot movement between companies within this industry then how can existing pay and benifits be improved or (in my case) even maintained!
Britannia also have the advantage of the "Second Officer" salery. Once a low hour ctc cadet finishes six months they're then paid 10 grand less than an F/O!!!!
All the best.
