Captains, we know that there're pilots among us waiting for the next checkride to move up to the next level. However, we've made a radical decision to implement fundamental changes to our checkride system, and as a result, the checkride planned for this month has been suspended until further notice. After implementing the planned changes to our checkride system, checkrides will reopen.
However, considering that some of our student pilots want to complete their checkrides as soon as possible and start flying internationally, we've opened international flights to student pilots for one month. This gesture, allowing student pilots to fly internationally until the next checkride, will make them happy. We believe that First Officers and higher-ranking pilots will empathise with this situation.
With all respect,
