but my comments were based on a conversation I had with a senior QANTAS C & T captain. He was explaining the reason why QANTAS recruited pilots with lower experience levels than other Australian airlines
Yet if you look at the advertisements for RFDS pilots and the Global Express corporate pilots, their flying experience requirements far exceed those of Qantas intakes.
There is something not quite right when these general aviation pilots with such solid command experience under their belts, are metaphorically laughed out of the Qantas interview room in favour of an Oxford Air Training cadet who has barely flown more than 150 miles radius from his own flying school and most of that time with the comfort of an instructor to look after him.
