I don't think you read my post with the intention as for it to be read! As would appear you have commented my "jaundiced" view of Pearl pilots is but a minor piece of the the whole picture.
I will reitterate. It takes 6-8 months to train one such pilot to the standard as YOU no doubt possess. NOTE THE TIME FRAME!!!
The NTG has not afforded the participants involved in this debate a reasonable time frame to ready themselves for a 6 month stint at the helm.
Back to the Pearl pilots. You guys should be commended if not for simply hanging in there till the bell tolls but for all your trials with outdated A/C and an outdated EBA. But you are replaceable! It just takes a long time to replace you.
