1: The rubrik heading these forums says it all.
2: Over on T+E experienced pros don't generally need the anal minutiae and handholding regarding interviews you guys understandably crave. By definition they've succeeded in previous interviews and discussion concentrates on the unusual, corrupt or baffling. Therefore it is terms, conditions, promotion prospects and quality of life that dominate - they well and truly have the experienced pro pilot t-shirt. This is entirely logical if you think about it and the forum does exactly what it says on the tin - plaintive enquiries from fAtpls usually get a very poor response.
3: Input from experienced folks has always been welcome here. The dearth is your problem not theirs. As a generalisation they cringe with embarrassment at the topics and views you consider to be important. Additionally there are only a patient, generous few who are willing to answer the same questions again and again and again. They are engaged in a 30 or 40 year career and see exactly the same themes from each 18 month or 2 year generation of wannabees rolling through this place. After 7 years of "Integrated V Modular' you do tend to lose the will to live.
4: They are disgusted at the importance and weight you generically give to the views of instructors and marketeers, the vast majority of whom have never done what you aspire to and regard you as fodder and throughput to keep their mortgages paid irrespective of the chances of you ever working professionally in aviation.
5: Finally, many are convinced that your unrealistic expectations and desperate scrabbling at the foot of the industry is a prime reason for what they perceive as the savage erosion in their terms and conditions. They also look around at their colleagues and find your vehement claims regarding the how's, where's and why's regarding best training and resulting career success utterly laughable.
If you consider the foregoing as crap think about this carefully - where are all the avid and regular generations of wannabees who lived ate and drank from this forum now they are, hopefully, experienced working pros?
Roll back the date on the forum 2 or 3 years and look at the names - where are they now when you need them?
