Should US majors follow Emirates lead?

[Browntothebone]

In changing their hiring mins to require time in a/c over 55 tonnes? This would exclude all RJs but would ensure that newhires have experience in big jets.


"All FO's must now have jet experience on a multi-engine Jet with a MTOW of over 55 Tonne. Based on this new minimum criteria we will not be considering further candidates with experience on smaller aircraft types. This also means we will no longer be considering those candidates already in our hold pool who fall short of the new minimum experience criteria."

What about military fighter pilots with a couple thousand hours?

Would they be allowed to participate in your perfect world?

Military pilots should be exempt due to their exceptional training and types of high performance a/c flown.

No, especially the single engine centerline thrust guys.

Maybe you are right, all that training in an F-16 really prepares someone to fly a 777 or A340-600.

Military guys should be exempt.

Even the helo or UAV guys?

Fixed wing only. Helo or UAV only should have to get the time somewhere.

 

[Metro752]

Especially the Helo guys. UAV guys have to be good sticks too since they are like 20,000 miles away from their planes.

 

[JECKEL]

The worst pilot I have ever flown with was an Air Force A-10 pilot.

 

[Nevets]

Fixed wing only. Helo or UAV only should have to get the time somewhere.

What about the T6 or PC21 or King Air guys?

They can do this if they want, no military pilot that is worth his weight would want these jobs now a days. After the majors do this then Congress should throw out affirmative action, fire all blacks hired because of the law and I'll be happy, and you'll be out of a job.

[Microclimates]

so how exactly does one get experience in a 55 tonne aircraft, should one not be lucky enough to have it already, if every single company that operates said size aircraft enforces these minima? Sounds like loop logic to me...

BttB strikes again!
