SriLankan trains more youngsters as pilots
SriLankan Airlines continues to provide the country's best and
brightest young men and women with opportunities for challenging and
rewarding careers in the international civil aviation industry.
The airline recently completed the training of 11 new Junior First
Officers (JFO) who successfully completed its prestigious Cadet Pilot
Training Program.
The new JFOs received their 'wings' at a ceremony at the Airport
Garden Hotel recently in the presence of their family members.
The airline's Head of Human Resources, Pradeepa Dahanayake said, "The
Cadet Pilot Training Program is a source of immense pride to our
airline.
Each of these young men has now realised his childhood dream of
becoming an airline pilot, and we are pleased to welcome each one of
them to the international airline industry."
Capt. Pedris, one of the most senior Captains at SriLankan who was
the Chief Guest at the ceremony said, "These young pilots are fortunate
to be in an airline which protects its staff at a time when other
airlines are laying off employees including pilots, and each of them
must give their fullest co-operation to our national carrier. |
