So down the back you have low experience aviators, we are talking 100 hrs or so. Up the front you will have Airline Capts who have never flown low level
Darmah,
You must personally know each and every person offered a job to make a statement like that?? Or is it that you missed out on a job and are bitter?
I personally know of multiple people who have vast experience operating at low level (RAAF AP-3C/ CL604 pilots plus a few P3 back enders) who have been offered jobs. I'm not saying that there are not some who fit your bill but there are also some people who have relevant and current experience.
As for no drop capability, I'm pretty sure they are modifying the aircraft so it can drop.... Otherwise why have a "dropmaster" position onboard?
