How is this possible ?


25 hours @ £75/h, it's probably cheaper to get that done in the States, and you can avoid the operator's name on your CV... And I guess they change pilots every 25 hours. Minimum experience required for full time job is probably 50 hrs (how cynical).

Considering they also require the CRM, hazmat & safety drills, which are supposed to be operator-oriented (CRM for sure, couldn't swear for the rest) and are therefore useless once you change companies (this is pure JAR-FCL stuff I believe), who do they expect to get ???

The only poor souls who barely meet the requirements are the folks who lost their flying jobs recently. Are they going to play that silly game ? I hope not. So who's left ? Youngs guys with not much experience. The company will set up a CRM course and all the rest for them, and send them the bill afterwards.

Best of all, they're probably approved for single-pilot ops.
