Conducting assessment of pilots should have been done prior to these pilots integrating to Virgin from Virgin Regional NOT after. Why is this necessary now? This practice is inefficient, unecessary and could have some very negative implications for an applicant that missed out and more so for the company. Surely these guys have a long history of sim and line checks, not to mention hundreds of sectors flying a difficult aircraft in a very demanding environment.
These guys measure up very well here during interviews. Great for us here, but sad to see these young pilots subjected to this poor practice and attitude and as a result lured away from Australia. How many ATPL's are currently being issued annually downunder? Exactly my point I rest my case. Have a great day!
