I have immense respect for your comments as they generally show a regard for experience and airmanship which now, unfortunately, is being priced out of this industry because it costs money.

The CEOs of the various newer companies will not be at all concerned about the safety record of their company if it can be shown the crew are at fault when an accident occurs.

Shamefully, many of the new flightcrew in the industry are not aware that this transfer of blame has taken place and therefore rely on company procedures or ATC, who are equally cash strapped, to keep them out of trouble.

I'm afraid that after engine start, I'm often filling out company paperwork or trying to update FMCs or deal with cabin crap while taxying due to the pressure we're all under these days to keep it rolling on short turnrounds.

The guys with experience are censured if they can't cope with it, and those without experience don't know any better.
