Blame the 200 hour sky gods? Well funny that I met a young Flybe skygod to be the other day and he had a lot less than 200 hours. He had more bars on his shoulders than I do, and Ive got a couple thousand hours on narrow bodies and quite a few on pistons . And then the guy slaving around for 20 quid an hour working at a different flight school (same airfield) cant get a look in. I spoke with him, and despondent wouldnt even come close.
What a sad industry.
