- Not exactly.... but on paper, yes they have 1 year 757 CA. Training letter is still not complete from the 2016 bid. And then ask yourself, why is the 757 so junior? (Not an enjoyable experience - although I didn’t fly it while I was there)
I imagine we’ll have folks on second year pay actually in the left seat of our narrow body aircraft here in the up coming vacancies. (Not a pleasant experience either, I would think. But for different reasons)
ie. career short call reserve
But as others have said, it’s great to have options and to each their own. Very exciting times!
