I was trying to (in a softly..softly way) imply that there are plenty of very competent, disciplined, experienced, and completely dedicated aircrew that never even get the opportunity that a lot of the fresh faced graduates seem to recieve. In a way I was having a bit of a moan, but more than that I am trying to highlight the real situation that I continue to see on a daily basis. It appears those with enough money and contacts will tend to prevail over more experienced, more competent (although the profile might say less suitable because of marraige, kids, or god forbid who they have worked for..etc..) individuals who would bring far more as a member of the flight-deck than just what college, flight school, and type rating they possess. In essence I am convinced that most of the larger carriers here in the Uk are limiting their human resource based on short-term, short sighted, and wholly unsustainable recruitment policies...wheeeeww.
End of rant..(it wasnt ment to be one!)
