whosyourdaddy,
An employer is not....
someone who is going to give them all the experience they need
The experience you gain is the result of you slogging your guts out, offering your SERVICES and SKILL to an employer.
Companies don't exist to provide experience to pilots, and it sh1ts me to tears when you have to listen to that sort of crap - without the pilots, there would be no company.
Don't ever listen to a CP or owner of a company saying "without me you wouldn't get the experience you need for QF, Virgin" or whatever. Without you, he would not be in business!
