So let me get this right. Someone who has applied through VA for a position with VA, met the requirements and standards of VA will now have to yield to a very long list of people who have not done any of that?
Well if that's the case I think VA have just moved away from one of the airlines of choice, career wise, to equal last.
Why did we feel the need to integrate the pilot list? Those that pushed for it would tell us improved opportunities (well that's a given for VARA drivers).
More likely a desperate attempt to appease one group to prevent the other from being undercut.
I'm yet to be convinced of the benefit of it.
To all those on the hold I feel very bad for you if this indeed pans out the way it is looking.
