Those guys are a timing bomb for the next air disaster but let’s keep denying it.
I can well believe it. Friend of mine flying in the Asia region crewed with a local cadet just out of flight school and who had just completed his type rating. They were flying in Cirrus cloud, calm conditions, when the cadet first officer nervously said to the captain "I don't like flying in cloud..." This from the legal second in command of a jet transport. Image the chaos that would occur if the captain became suddenly incapacitated. In fact it does't even bear thinking about.
