Hi UAV,
I could n't agree with you more but unfortunatley too many people do it and jump the queue... After getting the hours they just go to an Agency and get a job anywhere on the Planet that'll take them, mainly Mid-East, Asia and those areas. Then come back with a few quid & 1500+ hours and join a UK Airline!! Seen it done several times... Leaving people who've done the right thing by thier training, now sat at home fretting...
Even the TRI's that are teaching them know it is wrong and that is from the horses mouth... but money talks... someone makes a profit and the Taxman says thankyou very much thats a good enterprising business you have got, with a pat on the back, keep up the good work...
Its simple it should be made illegal.. but how?? You find a way and I'll support you 100% I've seen petitions go to the Govt before the election but I have n't seen any action taken about all the costs associated with Training etc..
Phil
