I hear that Management have already tried to put Check Captains on individual contracts....CASA apparently won't allow it as CCs must be full time employees of the AOC Holder. Undoubtedly this would have enforced the training and checking of contract pilots. CCs should be carefully reconsidering their role in all this.
But Training captains are voluntary positions and the personal hit from refusal to train is less.... No Training Captains willing to train contractors= No Contract Pilots.
Our greatest hope (and biggest risk) now lies with the Training and Checking Department.
