Well, if you don't care about experience you have to care about something.
Personally I'd rather have a pilot with hours than just an education. (although hours with an education is great)
I heard about a 22 year old that just got hired by A/C. No inside help. Right seat PC12 (does that even count for anything ?).
Heard about another that failed their Captain upgrade on a small twin turbo. Sure want them flying me around. Can't fly a twin but can fly a 67?? Doubtful.
I hope AC is prepared for a high dropout rate with their new hires.
I heard some Jazz guys are getting on but not many.
I guess age is a factor. Experience isn't.
Being young with a degree you probably won't have much experience.
I think I'll travel with West Jet in the future!!
As Always
Shocked and Awed !!
