Nope, my reference was to a bubble, which the new generation of pilots has lived their entire lives in without any acknowledgement or respect to where it came from. That said, most newish CX pilots do not deserve to sit in any seat of jet airliners, much less widebody international airliners. If you are sensitive to that fact, it’s probably because you know it’s true.

Ask yourself a simple question... Have CX’s standards gone up or down in the time you’ve been here? Why do you suppose that is?
