Hi guys and girls,
Just to do a little myth busting.
The initial employment is as a second officer until you complete the line training etc whereupon you will be employed as a first officer.
At the moment courses are starting the line training around 2 months after finishing at CTC. There are some minor delays in the line training phase, mainly due to training captains doing conversion course, but nothing unusual.
At the moment there are around 15 pilots from the first few courses flying the line and several others enjoying the line training.
