the way forward for junior bird men.
It is simple market forces which determine the attitude of the employers. Supply v. Demand
I can recall circa 1987 when a certain chief pilot in northern England said that he would have employed a monkey if it walked through the door with a CPL/IR. No MCC in those days.
A very non CRM character had an interview and was offered employment within 3 minutes.

Get the CRM bit right at the interview - it counts for a great deal.
Non-team players need not apply these days. They can spot you within the first few minutes.
Use your skills elsewhere - but not on the flight deck.
