This minimum requirement would mean cadet pilots would come through the traditional aviation path rather than a structured and specific jet training program. It is important to note that if these changes are adopted Australia will not be getting the best of both worlds – pilots with both hours and an expertly designed jet training program – we will only be getting hours.
Uhhhh,
So apparently all of you Jetstar pilots that have been through GA and then have done an A320 endorsement are not any good.
It is hard to see how regional aviation is capable of training pilots for all of our future requirements and cope with the level of turnover and talent drain they will suffer as pilots seek career advancement in jet operators.
Insulting much? I know of a few 'regional operators' that are many times more preferable employers than 1 star.
I fail to see how our significant investment in setting up our own expertly cadet programs with some of the world’s best training providers
By 'our'- he means cadets significant investment. Jetstar wouldn't have paid a cent.
This 'reply' needs to be forwarded to Mr X so he can see how urgent these reforms are. The CEO's are clearly ignorant.
