Fair enough, you both make a good point. Obviously introducing a 1500 hour limit would make it harder to get into the airlines. In terms of how FTE/OAA/CTC would approach this problem...

That is utterly terrible news for Thomas Cook employees. He's the kind of guy who won't hold the door open for you if you're walking 2 meters behind him.

To be honest, the only way to stop the rot is to convince people never to embark on the ATPL training in the first place. Once you've spent the £100,000 you're unlikely to stop spending.

Just ask the guy after 7 years if he still wants to leave for a command elsewhere. Those of us working at BA know what the answer will be, fairly pointless to debate it further.
