Talent acquisition and retainment is directly correlated with compensation.

To me says nothing about the quality of the pilots but volumes about the training within the airline.

So what happens now?? In two years, all F/O's having done no manipulation in the landing phase ("you reckon take-offs can be tricky, wait until you've seen an approach and landing get really f**ked up!") - let's say the Captains keels over and is no longer of this earth; the news headline:

"trained, professional First Officer pilot crashes perfectly safe aircraft whilst attempting almost impossible flight manoeuvre - landing!"

God bless Pprune - allows me to hear things that make me laugh (sometimes at humour, sometimes at stupidity) that I would otherwise miss.
Trust the management boyo's got a bonus for their latest demonstration of "leadership!"

If you can't land a 777 then give up flying.

So they need to hire some pilot as 777 F/O now! I think a guy can't land an aircraft we couldn't call him a pilot.

so now most of the 777 F/O's at Eva have not landed for over 30 days, its a recipee for disaster! The compnay is really going down the toilet, 2 747 been disposed, pilots still leaving in droves, no expansion planes what so ever, even the dynasty pilots got a pay rise.
