Danger

I think now is a good time to address a serious issue in commercial aviation,

These days anybody who is of semi decent physical health can go and pass a medical, enroll in a flight school, pay the money, breeze through all the exams and go and get a commercial certificate, however there are quite a fair few, in my observation that are not mentally stable to be trusted with an aircraft with passengers or even have the personal skills to work alongside others.

In fact it is easy to spot the ones with the loose screws, nearly anybody who wants to fly in Europe needs their head examined, its not right to have to pay such amounts to get qualified in the industry, its just plane crazy.
Commercial pilots will soon be seen as a joke if this trend continues.

Something should be changed in the screening process
