Doctors usually only destroy one life at a time if they have bad day, and then they go home. A person scheduling surgery or booking patients doesn’t question a doctors decisions on a daily basis. Full reval of their qualifications every year?? Doctors......? Why do we compare ourselves to them? |

"The cadetship is funded primarily by Federal Government vocational and education training (VET) student loans"... Um funded...No. Great journalism there. The cadetship is funded by the student... who has access to a loan. How hard is it to report accurately? |
Bazza,
Other pilots are the ones comparing themselves to doctors. I beleive that it's a bit fanciful to make that comparison. Medical doctors have to do a long stint at uni (5 years I think) and then two years of residency and after all of that try to get access to a college. GP's, Surgeons, Anaesthetists etc. If they get into a college then a few more years of training and maybe then they can relax. If your lucky you will be finished by the age of 30. If you dont make it through residency or college training you can be a supervised hospital doctor or you can go into research, administration etc. If you dont make it into the cockpit with your 100k CPL yoy have far fewer options. |
Pilotchute, I was basically making that point. Why are we comparing ourselves to a profession that has no resemblance to ours? Forget what other people get, we’re pilots and we should be more focused on making our jobs workable.

Contractual obligations
Woah, whats going on, the Border force contract has minimum requirements of experience and IRT renewals, no way a cadet would qualify to fly on these sorties unless Cobham extort the Government to make whole sale changes to their contractual obligations, or they commit to having a training pilot on every cadet flight, in which case there is no advantage. But hey it wouldn't be the first time they got away with conning the government.

And don't forget the $270 fee just to be hopeful of the pineapple!

You’re obviously an FO Icarus? |
No, over a decade left seat. Perhaps you could list three “decisions” that are not prescribed? |
Do you take much notice about what you’re doing? How about just managing the flight, everything involves a decision in one way or another. If you’re just showing up and making 3 decisions I’d be a bit worried. |
I think Iccy must have taken something...

Doctors on the other hand start with someone complaining of a "sore belly" then start from there.

4. One line NOTAMS or full text?
5. Intersection departure or full length? 6. Would you like poached eggs and bacon with hollandaise sauce on sourdough , or the cereal? :{ |

We call it Eggs Benedict! |

Yes Iccy, I am appalled! You should hang your head in shame! :{

Icarus,
I'm with you, no one rates a Pilot as high as a Pilot does. For the love of god why do pilots keep thinking they're in the same league as Drs. Now, I'm not saying all Drs would make it as pilots, but if you looked at the requirements for Drs Vs Pilots I'd say it easily goes their way. Just to get into Uni for medicine you need to be in the top 2-3 %, then 6 yrs as it's post grad (as is dentistry and vet science), so you do your initial degree, then start your med degree, so 6 yrs at Uni, then your hospital training and that's at least 2 yrs. Like I said I don't think every Dr would make it as a pilot (and not based on intelligence), but I'd bet you > 95% would piss it in and I'd say < 15% of Pilots would get through the Uni program for medicine. Far easier to train a pilot than a Dr, dentist, vet, engineer etc. Not quite Dunning-Kruger, but on the way! |
