Perhaps I'm missing something in this proposed concept. Is this an effort to organize and position a cadre of strike breakers ?
"Avia Solutions Group, managing one of the largest pilot centres in Eastern Europe BAA Training, has
already entered several preliminary confidential contracts with large carriers to train a number of the so called substitute pilots. These companies are ready to cover the cost of training new pilots for several years. Following their training, these pilots shall gain the primary flying experience and accumulate flight hours in smaller airlines. Then, if there’s a pilot strike, the airline which has initially covered his or her training, can call upon the pilot to fill in the empty seat on a temporary or permanent basis."
