You can look at this as part of the state of the world as it is, and is becoming.

Cheaper. Automated. Consumable. Expendable.

The ARTISAN is a fast fading concept. These days, you don't build things to last. If they break, they get replaced, not fixed. Things are manufactured with the assistance of computers and productions lines to make them 'economically viable'.

Pilots are becoming part of this process.

How many pax would really be comfortable knowing that one of their operating crew has only 500 hours and a few months ago was just out of school?
