That Flight experience sim is a bucket of sh.. it’s been in no fewer than 4 locations over the years. Airways pulled the plug and packed up the other day leaving a few good people pissed. Things are pretty bad when candidates are doing sim evaluations in back yard home made sims for major airlines.

Qlink, Cobham, Virgin have in the past or are currently still using it for sim assessments. I guess it comes down to cost. Why take up CAT D sim slots, when the same can be achieved in a fixed base for much less.

Told at the bar...4 hold file calls put out to fill a EOY Second Officer course and 3 turned it down opting to wait for a VAA 737 position and 1 had a start date with Cobham on 717...

Hold file
Hey guys,
Has anyone heard any whispers from the VA SO hold file? Also would anyone know many courses are they are likely to shoot through this year?
Cheers,
Anthony

I can’t understand the logic either. I suspect that some may have knocked it back for the old ‘I’m too good/qualified to be an SO’ mentality.
If they knew they were in the mix for QF, then I can understand trying their luck for a better position at VA.
It's brave but, while waiting for virgin to call them back (if ever) they get a call from QF it was an ace move.
still doesn’t make sense. Wouldn’t you just take the seniority number and then quit and goto QF when you get the call? Seniority is everything down the road. I know at least 3 guys at VA doing exactly this.
Not that it has stopped everyone but there is a type rating bond of 45k. Pull the pin before the 36 months I think it is and you pay the 45k pro rated for your time in the business.
