You may disagree but what you have not taken any account of is that, unlike new car drivers, the new pilots have to acheive a set standard before they are allowed to join the company. Recent intake have been pilots with years of experience from Maersk / Duo. The most recent have been jet Captains from bmiRegional. As you say experience counts but, with your favourite myopic view, you fail to recognise that these are all experienced pilots.
Hence my argument that high pilot turnover is bad news. is a falsehood if you replace like with like.
You may have seen it all 'from decades in the sharp end' but so have I and, unlike you, I am still working for bmi. What I can tell you is that every one of the new pilots into baby is of the highest quality. The base training is good and they get excellent line training to ensure they are fully up to speed.
