I’ve got a good buddy from the RJ days who has spent the last decade flying heavies internationally for Cathay, but his application is basically DOA at all the majors because he went from high school directly to flight school.
Apparently his knowledge, skills, and experience account for next to nothing while a fresh-faced AVIATE enrollee will get fast tracked to a multi-million dollar career…
This industry is crazy.
Is that the rationale for Aviate? I don’t think the “shortage” is its genesis. The legacies won’t have any problems putting faces to spaces for some time. Now the regionals are another story. Perhaps that is the reason it exists.
