Anybody know how they came up with the magic number of 2000hrs? If they start now to implement a scheme to train local crew, it will be maybe 6 months before you get 1 or maybe 2 very bright freshly rated comm pilots, now will they have to have a 2000hr TT mark before allowed to work, don`t think so, and by the time they reach that mark they will have been scooped up by Air Namibia as mentioned in a previous post! Who will fund this training scheme? Decisions like these are not beneficial to the operators and like usual the pilots who made the effort to go there and find a job to earn a few pennies and hours a month get the worst end of the deal!
