Weak pilots are becoming more common as they know that the standard is low and that there is no point in acieving anything more than a minimum pass. Just wait your turn, take a couple goes at the upgrade, easier to pass you than get you out of the Company.
So says a junior pilot who is so sure he/she is better than everone else! 🙄
