Mmm ....
helo_aviator .... your quote ...

So, the rumours of ADA letting the high-time, experienced, and well paid pilots out to pasture - and then hiring lower time guys (I have 3000 hours) or those looking to get into the off-shore business for the first time, ARE ABSOLUTELY TRUE. ....
... IS AN ABSOLUTE LOAD OF BOLLOCKS .....
If you ever get here and find yourself in one of their aircraft .... have a look at the bloke sharing the cockpit he will most likely be a grey haired veteran with perhaps 20+ thousand hours logged ... YES he may be a 'Silverback' but ADA won't like to see him go UNTIL he is forced to retire by regulations.
ADA may lose people slowly due to retirements and this will get worse 'cos now is the time the Viet Vets are 'timexing' this is not as you infer an ADA plan to get rid of the 'senior' guys just because they are high paid!
What ADA IS doing is training to cope with attrition ......
Come out here prove yourself ..... till then keep to the facts ....
