In all seriousness, that CX actually pursued these SAA pilots is really going to be a barometer for their ability to recruit real pilots going forward. If these guys choose otherwise, which I’m hearing they all or mostly will, then CX will know for sure that their future is solely tied to starry-eyed cadets with shiny jet syndrome. The byproducts of that are profound. Turnover will be higher. Failures will be more common. Experience levels in the cockpit will plummet. Safety will be impacted. There is no alternative unless the recruitment package is changed. These airliners are very safe, but they still require experienced pilots to make decisions and keep out of trouble.
