Concerning recruitment agencies....
(talking about First Officer positions)
As you are probably aware many of the recruitment comapnies such as Parc, Rishworth, Wynnwith, etc, etc. constantly advertise the same positions over and over. Usually these are for A320, 737NG, B744, or the occasional ATR job. All of these contracts require usually 300 or 500 hours in Type. It does not matter (excluding just a few contracts) if you have 10,000 hours in one kind of jet aircraft, you need hours in the exact type of jet used in the contract.
Question: Do you think the hour in specific type of jet will eventually go away and these airlines will look at the total experience of the applicant? I know it all has to do w/ supply and demand...but christ, it seems like a person should not be excluded because they have 5000 hours in 737 classic and they want to apply for a A320 FO position? Are these recruitment agencies seriously staffing every month? I have seen the same ads for 3 plus years. Something has to give.....right? please.....
