It seems so dated to hire pilots on hours and not landings. Corporate world regularly fly three or four sectors a day and only put in five or six hours but quality hours. Bigger jets = bigger wages, makes sense I guess but it’s not long before less pilots are needed on the airliners and the guys flying will all be sat in an office. “Never gonna happen” I hear people say but if you’d said you don’t need a navigator or flight engineer in the 70’s people would’ve thought you were mad.
Advertise an FO position and you’ll have hundreds of applicants in minutes, requirements will change and everyone will keep flying but maybe those low hour wannabes paying for type ratings can keep their money for the next few years.
