Gee some of these blokes are cutting off their noses in spite their faces as not all SO's are the cadet type. There are more than just a few of CX FO's, F18 pilots, wing commanders, Eastern/REX Captains FO's etc etc most of whom are quite humble about their background. Only a fool would think that a SO cannot contribute something to the crew.
IT that is not true. QF had internal CRM courses going in the 80's and onwards.
This whole thread says alot about how good Qantas' recruiting methods are doesn't it?!
