Been like that since day one I think PJ! Very poor/in-experienced management, although recent additions are a step in the right direction. Another 767 arriving with new routes to KL and JED. Hope it keeps going, few UK guys still there so good luck to them and the entertainment value was just immense, best adventure ever!

MALDIVES CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY
PRESS RELEASE
There is a report being circulated in the media that a number of Maldivian airlines are unsafe.
This report is misleading.
Maldives' civil aviation safety standards are in accordance with those set by the International
Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO); the same standards which all countries of the world are required
to adhere to.
ICAO audits the safety arrangements of all member countries. Accordingly, last year ICAO had
audited this Authority, our airlines and other service providers. The audit showed that Maldivian civil
aviation's safety arrangements were up to the required standards.
In this respect, this Authority regularly audits all airlines to ensure their safety standards are
within ICAO standards and recommended practices.
Hence, given that Maldivian civil aviation's safety standards are within those set by ICAO' this
Authority urges the public not to be misled by such reports.

No chip on my shoulder guys, the advert was for regular FO not cadets...
Sorry your standards when employing proffesional flight Crew must be much lower where your from.
Where I come from a Direct entry FO should have at least some experince on the type.

Where I am from a cadet is someone with very low hours 200+
An FO would have minimum of 1,500 hrs and 500 on type
Sounds as there are a few people getting in the offensive when its industry standard to have time on type when applying for a direct entry type rated position....

So because someone choses to describe them by the function they have on the aircraft, which is first officer, you feel the need to go on the defensive. In the US they don't even have cadets.
FYI, Captain LHS, FO RHS
FO can be any of the following: cadet, second officer, first officer, senior first officer...
These terms are thought up by beancounters who somehow feel that with the new descriptive the salary can be lowered.

Standards haha
ok so you guys are talking standards and experience then lets see..
Mega Deputy director/Flight Ops director (Wes whatever) - Upgraded last year with ONLY 1400hrs on type and just over a thousand on seaplanes. alarmingly LOW hours. But number 2 on seniority list/OCC's right hand man and office bully: picks his flts and FOs (i.e. company hidden rosters so know body knows who's doing what) CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN THE MALDIVES …..
Head of Training is a First Officer (Yep, you read it FIRST OFFICER) again damn low inexperience!!!! doesn't even hold an atpl even the the company part A says this position MUST be a Captain!!!!!!!
GO FIGGER!!!! STANDARDS!!!

How did you get your first 500 hours on TYPE????
Just magic those hours up I take it? Sounds like you have a career as a recruitment agent at best and airline HR as a "business partner" at worst ahead of you.
