So then how is it that you are stuck in low paid RHS jobs moaning about young guys stealing your promotion prospects, when surely you should be running BA or Virgin by now?

Or could it just be that you are cr*p at your job, have never got anywhere for that reason, and like venting your bitterness on an anonymous forum against people who are easy targets???
Yes – that’s the problem - so many terrible pilots at Flybe, Loganair, Eastern or working in the Middle East or as FIs. When they went for the rigorous selection days alongside the OAA/CTC cadets, they were completely outclassed; that must explain why EZY keep taking on so many cadets.

OR could it be that these guys don’t even get invited to any selection process?? Their career advancement is nil, as flexible and cheap cadets are queuing up by the shipload.

The point that those cadets keep forgetting is that they aren’t being selected because they are sooo much better than the 1000s of experienced pilots out there “who are cr@p at their jobs”, they are selected because they’re very cheap, willing to sign any contract, flexible, and will work where they’re told to.

Therefore to complain about the T&Cs simply beggars belief – they’re the entire reason the cadet is in the RHS rather than an experienced (and dearer/less flexible) pilot.
