...So much so, that we sent a letter on the 13th April 2010, to Captain R.M. Jones, Head of Flight Operations Division, Civil Aviation Authority, voicing these concerns.
Should have sent it to Captain O.P. Jones.
Seriously, though, nobody on this thread has mentioned the real threat of P2F. After paying 'n' thousand scroots* for the "training," there is no guarantee of being hired. Thus, the 250 hour wunderkind can be replaced by another hopeful willing to part with another 'n' thousand scroots, thereby perpetuating a series of inexperienced FOs in the right hand seat of passenger carrying jet transport aircraft.
Give me QANTAS any day!
* scroot = 1 unit of the relevant local currency
