Obviously about to be accused of old fogeydom but here goes….I have been involved with airline pilot recruitment at various times and the standard of tech knowledge is quite disturbingly low by some. Similarly the inability to fly a simple SID. To be fair some candidates stand out but others you can’t but help think have been duped of their 100 grand. As regards the above the excruciating use of ‘kinda’ does not indicate appropriate maturity.
