This is definitely a positive step in the right direction
Why?
Why is this a 'step in the right direction'?
They are asking for fully qualified pilots to take part in an 'apprentice scheme' and this is 'step in the right direction'?
These are qualified pilots, able to take up position as co-pilots in a commercial operation, not muppets in a scheme which pushes them from pillar to post in a company that then, after 18 months, wants to employ then for what they are employable for. And you believe this is a step in the right direction?
So is it with the decline of our industry.
BALPA, sort this mess out, if you can't then the paying public need to be more aware of just who it is that is flying them through the air at 650mph and throwing them at the ground at 175mph when they complain that taxi's drive too fast!!!!
