With certain comments and questions I now understand why the pass rate is low !

My reply was to someone saying they made more than 250k on just basic salary and housing as a junior captain. I wasn't denying that senior captains or total compensation wasn't higher; however that wasn't the discussion.

It’s not tough. The applicants they are attracting are just useless. If you can’t pass the interview and sim then you must really be crap.

Nobody was talking about the overall package. BB said ONLY his basic plus housing was more than 250k as a junior captain, which is obviously a lie.

300 hr TT ****box flight instructors were manually handling the 747 during their stage 2 interviews and passing it not too long ago, so what’s your excuse?

(A year 4 CN was on 130K and last CN Rental Ceiling I saw was 112.8K, so not far off, actually? But yes, all off-topic)

they said it should be fair, because it's all basic flying. Even my assessor is a captain at Airbus, he said treat this plane like a DC-3. This is just manual flying but you have to estimate the momentum and speed of this plane

Management will promise you the 747-400/-8 then backstab you and swap you to the A320 flying bats out of Wuhan this is the Cathay way.
