It's time to change it, otherwise the new people will have be brought in in such a hurry that they will make the same mistakes all over again.

oh the 'juniors' have no idea
oh they wont do the hard yards
oh they don't swallow
As a somewhat mature 'junior' i find it disconcerting that the longevity of the skillset/experience within the insdustry is being sacrificed because the passage of knowledge isn't being conducted as it should.
just because a low hour pilots pants are down around his ankles, isn't necessarily an open invitation to any & every callous operator to give him a good rogering.
seems the same people complaining over experienced pilot shortages are the same ones slagging the newcomers
reinvest in the industries future (juniors) or the industry will have no future investments (seniors)
