not enough "NoTec" in flt trng
i went thru the QR pilot(A 320 Capt) selection process last Oct.
The pre-interview presentation was quite nice(they stuck to the facts,no fancy hype)
As far as i can tell,of all the pilots from my airline who came for the interview,only 2(including self) were taken for simulator evaluation.
the breifing was good(and friendly)and the session fairly typical to those conducted in my airline.
And like that in my airline(and one of the reasons why i wanted to move on)their appeared to be no special emphasis on the
"No Tec" aspect. (it is how CRM was used to assign priorities and sequence tasks when handling unusual or out of SOP situations)
i was a bit dissappionted at not being called to join them,and my collegues in my present airline could not beleive that QR had passed me by!
The other chap was called and was flying with them by Feb.
Now i hear he has left QR!
And now they are looking at unrated pilots.
Something tells me they need to get their act togather in flt.ops too!
i am sure they still have some talented folks(Capt. Kevin who conducted the interview sure knew his stuff)
Hope they get a free hand in setting things right.
All the best QR!
