not only Spicejet, But Jet Airways also stopped taking type rated pilots because of the same stupid reason, first they took TR pilots from 'contacts' who were not at all good in their performance, n they stopped TR737 FO recruitment only.... now every other TR pilot has to suffer from this. stupid decision, can't they take sim checks strictly & then decide whether the candidate is suitable or not? at least give opportunity to people who have spent plenty of lacs in Type Rating !
