Grave shortage of training-captains as no financial or other incentive to volunteer for the hassle/stress involved in performing 25min turn-arounds with ab-initio candidates etc etc.A serious internal problem and potential growth-inhibitor that they refuse to tackle by the simple expedient of throwing money/extra days-off at people; at which stage adequate suitable talent could be identified internally.Instead they prefer to co-erce new Captains into becoming line-trainers with not much more than one year of command time(I heard a RUMOUR it was even demanded on new Capt's contracts).Great idea that,having the least experienced guys doing the line-training.I think we could/maybe should, start a whole new thread on that gem of an idea.
