Easy.....
Well that's blown it,
Just got an Email update from the Orange crew, and they have now increased the FO criteria to:
"FIRST OFFICERS
- in the region of 4000 total hours (which will factorise to a minimum of 3000 hours) with 1000 hours on a medium-heavy commercial jet."
Well, my 1300 TT all light a/c is not going to get me past the gate.
On the positive side, they go onto say:
"While we are currently looking for First Officers with significant levels of experience please note that these requirements will change and we will continue to recruit First Officers with a broad range of experience."
As a thought, is it likely that if they manage to recruite more experienced crews, that once the world situation changes, they are the first to move on?
Not great news, but not the end of the world either, that's my take.
