No, he was from a company that went bust late last year.
Oh, so he was type rated, but just with little or no experience on type? I'm just wondering how many non type rated guys they looked at.
I come under the "experienced but not type rated" criteria (3000 hours light turboprop), just finding it a bit difficult to get any interest in my CV at the moment. For basically the reasons that CABUS has outlined, I would surmise.
