Exclamation Voice your concerns beyond PPRUNE - Time to make a stand

If people want change then put it in writing to EZY CEO, to the Media, to your local MPs. Use GAPAN and other independant aviation resources, start an online No.10 petition, send your views to EASA about the current training cadet system where low houred are fleeced and treated badly on Flexicrew contracts (CHRIP101 details concerns). Tell them how some only get 6 months expenses to fly with airlines linked to these schools. Tell them how these cadets are prioritised over experienced TP and other jet crews.

EASA is deeply concerned over automation airmanship post AF447 - the final report will come out next month. Part of the problem is recognised as a lack of airmanship and understanding of attitude/manual flying when the automation gives up.

EASA themselves are beginning to see that the current JAR/EASA integrated 250h frozen ATPL (and indeed MPL) straight into an automated airliner like an A319 is part of the problem.

What the UK/EIRE and some other EU LoCo airlines are doing with short term contracts and poor initial training with little manual flying once on the line is making a bad situation much worse than it was even 3 years ago.
