I guess it wasn't standard business practice to employ women on the flight deck 25 years ago; however that changed due to women's rights etc!
They are not discriminating over training but how much you have in your bank account.
In away its like going to work for someone but having to pay the manager's best mate £60K so you can have the job! This is what Brymon is doing by almost forcing people (who want a job with them with low hours)to opt for the intergrated route.
Well two of those training colleges who run intergrated courses already have big contracts with BA, well theres a surprise!! The conclusion is; it works very nicely for OATs and BAe by providing them with business.
This stuff about having the right qualifications is utter nonsense. Excuse me, but is there a different ATPL/IR for the modular course and a different one for the intergrated course?
Perhaps the modular ATPL/IR licence cover comes in pink? I'm not sure?!
Someone in a previous post mentioned if they want degree pilots, you must get a degree. However, Brymon want pilots with Frozen ATPLs/IRs, well thats what we're giving them, regardless of the type of course. Its not as if any of us are trying to apply to them with a mere PPL!
