Yes the upgrade interview for expat FOs seemed to be biased and pre-planned to have them fail. However, I believe that VN wast not impressed by the attitude and competency of some of these FOs, and unfortunately, on some occasions I understood their point of view. All of them however were much more competent
For your information all those FO are alredy been employed elsewhere , most of them as a direct entry captains, maybe in Airlines than you can only dream off. IV flown with all of them, those guys they where constantly called to fly with some captains considered " at risk"..
Attitude? When someone ask you the diameter of the cable that connect the fuel truck to the plane... which kind of attitude you must have? Smile?
Duty time one of the lowest you have ever experienced ? Where have you been flying before? Nigeria ? Iran?
80hrs 198 duty In March
