The best thing about all you cadets with thousands of hours multi crew turbine is when you can not get command because of lack of any multi command time (normally gained through sheer hard work in G.A.). At least CASA know how good you are.
I have come across many resumes from airline cadets who think they can walk straight into a G.A. company and start flying twins. They are not prepared to start on the bottom and fly a single and wait several years to fly a twin.
Could you imagine a cadet loading a plane, refuelling, not having an autopilot/2nd crew member, no pressurisation / air conditioning, no inflight coffee being served, washing planes, working in the hangar, work long hours - 6 days/week, work on their day off, !!!
I am sure some cadets would be prepared to do the above and it would be a great thing to see. It would show that there are no short cuts to the top no matter how hard some try. Or some others just wouldn't bother proving how determined they really are.
