Alright, so this cookie-cutter comes out of "airline pilot" school to get furloughed, or his airline goes broke. Then what? No licence?
What happens if the airline expands rapidly? Who gets to upgrade, on what, and with what experience level.
What about the experiences they have had at United where, among other examples, an International Relief Officer who was designated an actual take-off nearly destroyed himself, the aircraft and all souls on board, following a simple compressor stall of the number 3 engine.
It's a lot like a mutual fund, "past performance does not guarantee a future performance". Yeah, well, too bad. The more successful past performance I can see in a logbook of anything bigger than a hang glider, tells me s/he knows how to fly.
Simple as that!
