Wannabe pilot utopia!
Keep taking the drugs and it'll be alright.
Seriously though, I think you'll find that it will be market forces that dictate what will happen, just as the "zero to hero" market has boomed. Unless there is an accident and it is found that one of the main causes was due to the method by which one of the pilots got their relevant seat there isn't going to be any effort by the relevant authorities to stop jet type ratings being flogged to enthusiastic fATPL holders. We live in a free market economy and unless you advocate a Soviet style mother/father state where government dictates how you should run your life then it ain't gonna happen.
As long as the market is in an upswing, as it is now, there are going to be problems for the airlines. As we know, there is no shortage of fATPL holders who have succumbed to the flight schools visions of "zero to hero" in just over a year. The real shortage is of experienced pilots who can move up the food chain. Yes, anyone with an ounce of ability and enthusiasm can be trained to fly a jet. The problem for the airlines is the amount of time and training required to get the candidate to the required standard.
Maybe in this utopian world we should allow fATPL holders to pay for just a small turboprop type rating. Enough to get them a chance to work doing air taxi work or similar? Then you would expect the commuter airlines to absorb them after a few years onto larger turboprops. Several years later they can be absorbed further up the food chain to regional jet operations and so on and so forth until they reach the hallowed halls of large jet operations. Oh hang on... isn't that how it still operates in many parts of the industry?
Perhaps we should just have all wannabes surgically operated on at fATPL issue to remove the 'impatience' gene that causes so many of them to become potential "zero to hero" candidates with no real experience of what 'learning a trade or skill' is really all about. Feathering nests is a human trait and you can't expect those that have achieved their positions through hard work, perseverance and basically 'moving up the food chain' to expect to make it too easy for the airlines, especially since they have had such a feeding frenzy on our terms and conditions for the last few years.
The real solution would be for the airlines to have to bite the bullet, pay the going market rate for experienced pilots and fork out enough money to plan their training requirements properly in the first place. Unfortunately, the Harvard School of Management is only now beginning to reap the harvest of its flawed doctrine of teaching all their managers and accountants understand the price of everything and the value of nothing. Even the legacy carriers are suffering at the moment, not with enough experienced pilot applicants but with poorly planned and under budgeted training departments struggling to get enough pilots trained on to their current types.
It's all good news for the enthusiastic, realistic and persevering wannabes who have faith that they will acquire the necessary experience by working their way up the food chain. The impatient ones who have gone from "zero to hero" are probably working their proverbials off for one of the LoCo's and now that the shine has gone off are wondering how they are ever going to move up the chain to a legacy carrier. Unfortunately, the perfect, utopian world is like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You know it's there but you can never reach it. Perhaps it's time to knuckle down to the realisation where exactly you are in the food chain and making the most of it until your time eventually comes. It does for most of us.
