You must be an absolute joy to fly with. The stream in which a lot of pilots now join airlines changed a long time ago to suit the reflected environment, deal with it rather than winge about it. It’s like after the war, where some pilots who had flown in the war belittled those that didn’t, even though there was no such opportunity for them. Much like today for a lot of young pilots, they simply don’t have the same opportunities to earn their initial wings slogging years in GA or strapped to a military jet. Manufacturers design modern aircraft and procedures with this in mind. They aren’t spaceships. I don’t see crashed planes all stacked up at CLK as a result of the cadet pilot. Simply put, get with the times.
You are most likely the kind of guy who recons your crew worship and admire you, when in reality they just put up with you sh1t to get the job done then talk about what a w@nker you really are as soon as you leave the cockpit inflight or during layovers when they all go out for beers without you while you’re stuck in your room spending your time being a big man on pprune.
If you don’t like your company, your colleagues, or the direction your company has been going in then why are you still here. Do everyone a solid and take the VR. Be sure to tell them you don’t want any retirement travel benifits either, as you won’t be able to fathom the thought of being a passenger on a CX flight to BKK to pick up your next Thai ladyboy wife knowing that the crew upfront might have all started out as cadets.
