Whilst I would say hate is perhaps the wrong word, perhaps if there is any animosity it would be out of jealousy. The vast majority of us had to work our behinds off to get into CX or KA suffering great financial, personal & professional sacrifices to get there. Still many pre-qualified and experienced pilots tried and never even got an interview!

Yet cadets just walk into the job without paying any dues or gaining experience before being given the keys to a modern aircraft and quite often complain about things such as a 4 year upgrade from SO to JFO or how hard they have it taking the bad rest, or that they shouldn't be on the 747 and deserve the A350 with the fancy layovers! Comments like that or attitudes like that from fresh-upstarts certainly won't get you very far with those who have paid their dues in this industry!
