Thanks very much for your comprehensive feedback. The progression program seems detailed and prepare entry-level pilots well. There are similar programs from "zero into offshore, multi-IFR" in our industry, but candidates generally do not work in other roles prior.
However, may I ask the following - in your company, what line training would a direct-entry pilot (i.e. one with similar experience from another company) receive?
Interestingly, the offshore World seems to be pretty quiet on the discussion...
