Listen guys this post has descended into a flight safety arguement after my original post which was meant to be a joke. I never questioned FR's training and safety record in fact I applauded it, the point I was making was that because their training standards are so good they are losing high quality pilots in their droves to the legacy airlines.
The joke I made was that if they employed "shyte" pilots and provided "shyte" training the pilots would not then be attractive to other airlines and therefore another mass exodus would not be likely to occur in and therefore they should incorporate this in the business plan.
Jeesh no senssome of you guys have no sense of humour for being intelligent men.
