Direct Entry, the concept!

To all of You that are considering the company or any company for that mater as a DEC or FO
( By the way there is only FO no DE-FO after safety pilot release, you are all the same.)

Your performance has to be better than minimum pass grade.
This is why most company do not hire DEC unless they rely have to.
Why? DEC and experienced pilot has great difficulty performing to RYR standard.
OCC is short and to pass sim , line training and consecutive good or better performance is rare.
When I did sim I used to call it " Un-learning". And the most popular excuse was:" The other aircraft" and " My company used to,,,".
In FAA terms they call it Indoctrination and I took offence to that word.
Now I love it!
You change Company and aircraft as DE somthing ,You work,eat sleep new kit for at least 6 months.
If You think you can walls in to any Company and steal a base position in front of the rest you better have your stuff sorted.
Its great fun and has a medium reward as by nature You have choices.
The SOP is king ,start marching to the tune. If out off stepp You are in trouble.
Read, comprehend and execute.
Simple realy.
As we all are in the illution that we are the illegitamate grand son of Cuck Yeager , I propose to read his autobiography!
He was actually a humble and smart man.
And Granny lied to encurrage You.
If You have it and the stamina, welcome.
If in doubt,go away.

Good luck to all.
