My guess is there has been a change of policy. I would not be surprised if we in the next month will welcome new colleagues who have never flown a jet.
All that will do is put more pressure on the training dept. The logic probably being "if they can do it with cadets, they can do it with turboprop pilots".
By opening this segment there will be no shortage.
Maybe...maybe not.
Otherwise its bold move, borderlining cocky, to only give the 3% in the second best year.
How is the saying. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I dont think I shall buy into the extra mile rhetoric again..
