Having done a CPL/IR upgrade and then instructed and now on the A320, I think that I am well placed to reply to your remarks.
You can have people who are self improvers who are excellent and some who are not. And the same applies to 509ers and upgraders.
The sooner the airlines realise this rather than preferring 509ers or self improvers, and took each individual on their own merits the better.
