In other words HR is wedged in there, controlling the process and they ensure their own survival. This model requires
unlimited supply.
Again as O'Leary in Ireland and Horizon in the US are finding out, delivering a pilot to an airline in order to fly revenue services is actually of far more 'bottom line' value than an office full of admin staff...
Wait for the summer schedule of flying to assess how well the recruitment model delivers pilots to the airline..........
Good point. Just seems that no one has anything good to say about the qantas group HR team, successful or not, everyone seems to have their own horror story.
