Merged: Senate Inquiry

[assasin8]

So Bruce Buchanan believes that adopting the Senate Recommendations will send pilot jobs overseas...

"Jetstar chief executive Bruce Buchanan said the recommendation of a 1500- hour minimum hadn't been clearly thought through. Adopting the 1500-hour minimum, which captains must have, would have three unintended consequences that were bad for aviation, he said.
No jet training course could turn out students with 1500 hours' experience, meaning pilots would have to come through the traditional general aviation path, which ''delivers a lower outcome of performance standard'', he said.
Second, it would decimate regional aviation, as that's where the main carriers would recruit pilots from, and third, aspiring pilots would have to go overseas for training and jobs, he said."



Obviously Bruce wasn’t present at the Qantasia meeting... For this is exactly what the current Qantas Management is doing with pilot jobs... Sending them overseas!

Someone should tell BB that they’re already doing this... “Whoops!”
