Agency have no clue!!!
@ stuckgear,
The majority of the Contract Agencies and Recruitment Companies have NO clue about the job.
If I see things like this it makes me laugh:
Required Experience:
You must meet the following criteria to apply:
- 2,000 hours total time
- 500 hours FO on A330
- Last A330 flight within the last 3 months and sim check on type within the last 5 months
- Age - M - 55 years, F - 50 years
- International flight experience
- ICAO ATPL
Yeah the poor A330 pilots with 500hours+ just have been doing circles around the watchtower, now we try to find one who HAS International flight experience...!!!
And this is just a small example. I have seen ridiculous ads.
These Agencies negotiate the T&C's for us. They have NO clue about the job.
