Mr pilot 2007
“…but cannot get a job because they are not rated on a particular aircraft.”
No, they cannot get a job unless they have experience on type, generally 500 hours.
“Nobody is willing to train you on a new type now.”
Some are. There are currently contracts for 744 or 767 skippers that pilots with other Boeing experience can apply for.
“The only positions available are shocking pay and conditions….”
Shocking. Really? There are jobs available right now in Asia for contractors that pay more then any airline in Australia is currently offering.
“….plus pay $40,000 to get a job”
None of the contractor jobs I know of require any such payment.
In fact, most of your post is rubbish.
