Flying to the rule is almost istantly guaranteed.
Atleast when this happens, some of your colleagues will stop "Boasting" about how they bust minima's, just to find the BAE146 on the ground, having done the same thing.

Here is a picture!!!
A certain syllabus of training is to be followed. The uk instructor does not comply. The guys fly from Mancherster instead. Not a single IFR approach is flown into Pietermaritzburg. The CAA approved training program is not followed. The UK instructor does not have the authority to sign a type rating for the RSA pilot. The RSA instructor did not do the training therfore is not willing to sign a type rating form.The guys only get 6 sim sessions(using eastern airline SOP's and training syllabus) while being bonded for 8. JVJ thumb up his b
! I also believe that the UK instructor will have a high standard. Local knowledge is however of great value. Hope that clears it up! Q4NVS many of Link destinations have published IF approach procedures. A visual approach is almost always used when it is possible. This saves time and fuel which equals MONEY!!!! Perhaps you dont understand the fuel and time implications should the IF procedure always be flown(even in perfectly clear sky days) I am pretty possitive that RF and JVJ will. You must admit, even the sux traulers do visual approaches(be it at crawling speed) into Joburg sometimes. Looking forward to your next invaluable input that seems to be on almost every other thread as well!

it goes like this
The only reason why airlink wants to use wetlease instructors is because they cannot afford to take our instructors offline. (short of crew).
The village idiot threw his toys and said if they are going to use wetlease instructors then "i'm not going to fly with the newcomers, they can use wetlease instructors for that as well"
IOW all the airlink instructors want to resign as instructors and just be line pilots.
simple as that and as childish as that.

That's strange! How do you suppose those Airlink pilots / instructors got rated on the aircraft in the first place?
simple as that and as childish as that.
Sounds like somebody didn't do their homework. Must say, not sure I would wanna put my TRI/TRE(DE rating) on the line. What JvJ has to realise is that he is making a series of poor calls and its all coming back to haunt him.
Couldn't happen to a nicer person.

Naturlink pilots recently got signed out on the E145 by Flight Saftey International
Airlink has done its own training on J41's since SAA cadet group 1 back in the 90's. This was done because the vendor did excactly what taxilight described in his post.
I suspect what happened was a Training Captain (DE) was asked to do the base check AND to to sign off the rating. He finds the new crew had NO idea about Airlink's flows, calls and SOP. He says 'forget it, get somebody else', and rightly so.
It will help with the crew shortage.
Airlink since '01 has been a one for the text books. How to take an airline for 1st to worst. The next thing is an accident....

PS: Who will the next chief pilot be.
Well? Who will it be?
Just heard that someone from outside got an interview!
Nobody inside of Link up to the job?
Is it easier to just leave?
Has everyone of you guys and gals given up and surrendered to the negative sentiment at your club?
So the steam must be really out now!? Is it, that they just don't make'em anymore like in the old days before GPS (or should that say:JVJ?)!?

(Guess that's why we get a 14th Cheque and you don't...)
My-oh-my, what an Authority you are.
Here's hoping your 14th Post will be more Groundbreaking, Earth-Shattering drivel!

Hourly pay
RF reveals his new 'Ultimate Solution' to his pilot problem- pay (less) by the hour.
Now you will no longer be an airline pilot, but a machine-operator who can be: used/abused now, but in an hours time, sorry, I don't really like you, don't come back here.
You have taken this place to a new depth of disgust, RF. And no, your little ugly fellow you appointed to f..k your pilots is not without your complete blessing!
It has reached a point at Link where ANY other work will be better than trying to bull**** yourself that you are an airline pilot. You will not enjoy Link, and will have no life at all, and your wife/girlfriend is going to leave you for someone who shows a little more concern for their life too. End.

LOL....Paying a Pilot by the hour for route flying. You have NO idea how many approaches I could do if I was paid by the hour!! Specially if its for duty hours. Just think of the technicals I could have or how slowly I could taxi.

Q4NVS: Oh please may I come and work for you!!!!
I also want to get a 14th cheque. How on earth do you do it. Seems like you spend most your time on PPRUNE! Do you actually fly as well? ( Or is that just what you call it.) By the sound of it, you, probably want to come and work for link. You will fit right in with JVJ. Does the government just hand out 14th cheques to you or do you actually believe that you are making a profit. We are very honored that you still find the time to add your valuable opinion on a thread that does not really concern you. OOHHH please be merciful and bestow some more of your blessing upon us!!!

Seems you you have some anger management issues. Why dont you spend your 14th cheque with DR Horn. Maybe he can do something for you! In the mean time, lets not turn this thread into a LINK/SAX thing. SAX wins hands down in just about every department. We just want to make Link a better place.

hmmm.....am I in the romper room?
I hear JvJ has been approaching ex Link guys for the Chief Pilot job. From what I hear he wants whoever is silly enough to take the job, to be the 'front man' for his silly ideas. Lucky nobody has been silly enough to fall for it.
Also hear its so bad they have pensioners flying in the right seat and doing training!!!
