fg1984 To compare this organisation with the likes of FR and easy is chalk and chese. Yes, they are all flying low houred F/O's but that's where the similarity ends. At FR a cadet will do something like 80 hours line training before being released to the line. They will be flying with a captain that is more than capable of managing the flight and any weather conditions they may be faced with. if and when they may be faqced with making approaches to minima, they would be flown on automatics in highly sophisticated, modern equipment. And finaly, if any cowboy atitudes got through the net onto the line, all operations of flights are monitored by onboard equipment, the aircraft even automaticaly report back to company of any limit busting imediately upon landing. They would probably be telephoned and grounded before they had the time to turn the aircraft round for the next flight.
Having said all of this, their training is excelent and there is no presure to get in so your pals coment is utter bol**x
