Ah, so it is hard to find pilots
that some other operator has trained and prepared for you.
Just get real and hire for attitude, then invest a few bucks in your employees. Stop trying to "steal" from the training budget of some other operator.......and don't give me the "..but everyone does it..." line.
In the past, decent operators invested in their staff and reaped huge rewards in loyalty. Simple really.
