AIRWAY

You are 100% completely wrong. Airlines do not hire low houred pilots for their relatively low employment cost. They are hired because an airline needs to keep the correct distribution of experience across the entire line. I would happily move to australia, new zealand or eastern europe for a job, i have applied to the carriers most relevant to me in each of those countries and many more.

Cost is a considered factor but a FATPL cannot command the same salary as an ATPL, but potentially a FATPL may cost more to train than an ATPL.

The cost of an individual comes into play when the airline decides whether they want to employ an UK national on a permenant basis or they can get two chaps from abroad on contracts for the same cost. This is exactly what is happening.

Oh great, a bun fight :(

No one is saying that EGPE is the holy grail for getting a turbo RHS. For all we know the next best place maybe lands end or elstree. This is a job for an instructor and purlease only apply if you are committed to working as such. The students at the school deserve someone who is keen to see them progress and not some grumpy southerner who is missing his warm beer and 10 mile traffic jams whilst dreaming of pushing buttons at FL370.

I don't think im 100% wrong, maybe 99%. ;)

It happened to a fellow prooner and there was a thread going on about it awhile back...

Apparently "x" prooner was too experienced for the wage package on offer, and dont tell me that 700 hours is too much.
