It seems that everywhere you look now-days,the co-pilots are "Cadets",whose parents are paying for them to get 50 to a 1000 turbine hours.
Most companies are loving it as they are getting paid to have a co-pilot working for them.
The only problem is the poor guys that are working their butt's off to fly and dont have rich parents are really battling.
Reminds me of certain companies making their pilots pay for their recurrency training.
them I say.
