Goedemorgen,
I see you've been taking the PPRuNe half-truth tablets again.
1/ I have it on excellent, excellent authority that your number is wrong. Less than 20 made it through.
2/ The mail categorically did NOT state that it depended for the most part on your ability to pay. It states -and this is a direct extract - "
may I repeat my regret that entry into this scheme does depend upon your ability to guarantee the necessary funding in the very short time available. I am only too well aware that this single condition may rule out an application by a number of graduates who, on merit, fully deserve consideration
. You COULD choose to believe that this was the only criteria, but that would be disengenuous to the context of the statement, which was that to be considered for assessment, you had to have the funds available. IF you had the funds available, THEN you could be selected, put forward for interview and chosen by the airline. Sheesh. Talk about bending things to suit your own agenda!

That said, I do agree that unity and action are needed. But all seems to have gone strangely quiet. Anyone heard anything furhter than this?

It is very interesting to note that none of the responses involved the "stick and rudder" aspects of flying. From a safety perspective, this is right on target since it is hard to think of an accident in which the pilot couldn't fly the aircraft.
Well, he is dead wrong there. That must have been written before loss of control overtook CFIT as the major cause of accidents. It doesn't take much searching to find countless examples where the accident happened because the pilot was a lousy pilot at hand flying but probably a real ace on the automatics. One recent example of many. Flash Air 737 hitting the water at 400 knots plus when nothing wrong with the airplane and the pilots still trying to engage the automatic pilot as he hit the sea.
