Thank you plota.
What you say is what I had heard, but I was only going on the information on
www.ppjn.com website.
I had heard this before. However, friends of mine did achieve positions in Air Europa previously on the 777 without connections, although already type-rated.
Just out of interest, are the unemployed pilots you refer to just out of college, or are they very experienced?
Thank you,
