Maccair redundancies

[sunbeam303]

Is it true that 6 senior pilots were made redundant, so 6 Maccflight cadets could be employed. Are they still fighting it out in the IRC.

[Dash Man]

Way off the mark

[Spinnerhead]

Ah yes, become a Maccair cadet, and learn how to talk on the radio (Cos thats about all they learn).

[Johhny Utah]

Spinner head- what a load of bs. Are you really trying to tell me that if you were a F/O on a turbine you'd be sitting there twiddling your thumbs & not learning anything at all...? If so, that's all well & good (I guess) but I find it hard to believe.

Don't forget - just because someone's doing things differently to the way you did them doesn't necessarily mean they're doing it all wrong...

[bitter balance]

Spinnerhead, from the sounds of it that's all they would learn if they were flying with you.

[sedgie]

If the cadets fly leg for leg than they will learn heaps.

[ur2]

All depends on the quality of the Captain they fly with, and the airlines approach to it all.
