I agree with the majority of those comments, low hour pilots are desperate for any flying job. Its just as competitive getting a taxi job on a light aircraft as it is on a TP or jet! They just want a foot on the ladder.
If they feel that a TR will help they get a job, well good for them if they can afford it and afford the hugh risk. But the low hour pilot has nothing to do with recruitment so don't hassle them. This is a sign of the times! 'A' levels are easier, calculators have been invented, soon they will eliminate the whizz wheel from examinations. Its a natural tendancy to be jealous, especially as the SSTR did not exist previously and the pilot had to work their way up to the shiny jet.
I'm not saying its right but it happens!
Wait for the new Multi Crew licence and then the rest of us can moan about those doing that.
If an OAT student can walk out with 170hours and only 15 on multi-engines and get into the right seat of a BA 737/320 then why can't others!
