It is a special job, but essentially not that different from a number of others. Sure it would take some adjustment and some very good management, but it needs to come.
I don't intend to divert this discussion into one of seniority but the thing people do not appreciate is that we all (generally) hold the same licence and are tested bi-annually to the same level. The the only thing that differentiates us is time served and therefore experience.
How to you promote one pilot to Captain when both have the same qualifications and experience?
I smiled when I saw the quote above mentioniong 'good management'!
