I beg to disagree mate! And you will find many more fliers lamenting on the subject if provoked. People have been failed on flight tests just for pointing pre flight faults on the plane!
Then again, why keep applicants waiting for 3 years before re-try when most airlines world-wide give you a sentence of only 1 year? And further to that...those that reached the final stage of Flight test have to wait longer than those who failed earlier in the test battery!!????
Moving the Fligh test away from Ririani to the 737 sim was the most sensible move.He is biased and malicious and had powers to fail a candidate before the test ,over riding the Kq invigilator..Now they need to re-think this meaningless waiting period when they are supposed to have shortage of Captains and this obstructs entry to experienced ATPLs.They might also think about Direct entry fast track scheme for experienced ATPLs like other airlines..and not to mix ATPLs with ab-initio/fresh CPL candidates in the testing process.
Rumour has it that KALPA.is toothless. What is required is a federation of kenyan pilots to help with careers and emplyment causes.Why are emplyment permits and license conversion allowed for foreign pilots when many Kenyans are unemployed? In other countries you can not even apply for license conversion unless you have been legaly offered a job prior.
What are your views on this?
