Expat FOS

I dont wish to sound negative but if your coming in as an expat FO on local terms unless things change(they wont)you will be in the RHS for 10yrs,you may be promised differently but you wont get upgrade,the two guys currently on upgrade were as mentioned before promised a Command at interview,they were also very experienced pilots before hand and had Commands on B737 etc etc before and they still had to wait 3-4yrs i think and the Command course is about 9 mths!!!!!!!.

Understandably the existing local FOs will also watch the system very carefully to make sure there is no jumping ahead of them,most of them are very new to Aviation and will have to wait a long time as they must do 800 sectors to get Command and at say 60 landings a year that will take over 10yrs.

I wish you well and we all have to work and its not easy but there is NO short cut here,good bunch of guys and a very fair training dept and of course the 747. Brgds CPT X
