When is a shortage not a shortage
I just read on a blog that the failure rate of new hires undertaking line training at airlines in Indonesia can be as high as 80%. Can anyone confirm or refute this?
If true then that is nothing but scary. The blog painted a picture of a CPL being pretty easy to get in Indonesia as it was the job of the airlines to weed out the ones who weren't up to standard.
So after spending 50-70K USD on a CPL and then being bonded 50k more there is a high chance the airline could cut you because at no time has anyone actually told you that you cant fly to save yourself!! You probably could but since no one has bothered to train you properly you weren't even given a chance. So 100K USD later you may not have a job.
What I also don't know is why are they doubling the output of the major schools if the standard is already terrible. What do they think will happen to the quality?. No point putting out twice the amount of graduates if only 20% of them make the cut anyway.
Please tell me it isn't true.
