My main gripe is the sear unemployablity of way too many fATPL/IR holders.

Having been unable to secure\buy a RHS job they are and not unreasonably trying to forward a career by moving into GA.

Sadly the type of training they have received doesn't open many doors on the GA\ instructing front.

They all have minimum hours, as much sim time as PIC time, only ever flown a couple of aircraft types. Have never landed at an uncontrolled airport, never landed at a grass strip, never made a unsupervised or none training flight and unbelievably for saying they are applying for a job in the UK – Never flown in this country.

Fortunately they are a few exceptions but it really is a such a waste.
