From: last time I looked I was still here.
I hear RYR are due for 54 a/c this year @ 5 crews per a/c = 270pilots. That's 270 captains required. Allowing for leavers, retirements and failures I'd guess about 330 command courses. Same next year. That means 600 F/O's will be needed for the new a/c and to replace the upgrades. You say they are closing OAA and the training is at a dribble. If this maths is correct it will require 50 pilots each month; not a dribble. If RYR are doing the upgrades and OCC's themselves, and they are closing OAA, then someone, CAE, is in for a bonanza, surely? Is it posisble these numbers can be produced? A full TQ to end of line training is 5 months, and OCC for an F/O to end line training could be as short as 1.5 months. Can RYR have the luxury of employing only cadets?
