There seems to be too much aiming for the bullseye these days where students do the minimum training and then expect the most lucrative job of all. However not everyone thinks like this and there are numerous souls that just want a job to have some money coming in and the first step on the rung of this slippery ladder.
More than right but please also blame the flight schools for telling to wannabes. Over the last couple of months I met a few guys just finishing with 195hrs integrated ATPL, from 3 different schools - all 200% convinced they were right seat FO by now and yes payback time has started 1.000/month...unfortunately this is not the truth at this time of writing although opportunities are coming up with FI's and other GA fliers upgrading to the TR aircraft but jets seam the only option to most wannabes and that's why people end up frustrated after some time - been there!

Good luck to all

BTW I don't think it's the right attitude either to attack one personally good or bad...
