NAS Upgrades

Ryanair selection and training is by and large excellent, few would dispute that and a good number of ex Ryanair guys who in their words were coming up for command in FR have joined Norwegian in the hope of fast command, the problem is that when your aged 24 waiting for anything seems like an age, WHAT 6months!!!!! your taking the p**s, well having flown with many of these wonder pilots i can confirm that they are indeed very well trained and will make excellent Captains, but some need a few more years maturity on their shoulders and a dose of humility to go with it.

Command selection in NAS is a combination of peer review, interview, sim and selection, no system is perfect, but if you join thinking your the bogs dollocks and don't show a little respect, then you might not be shuffled 90cm to the LHS as quick as you think you should be. So its in your hands, your still a command training risk and DEC will still have the upper hand and yep we get a few odd balls there as well.
