it's worrying that people are prepared to take such financial risks with borrowed money to get a start in this industry, and does beg the question as to what type of people are coming into this industry?

i was always told that airlines don't employ first officers, they employ future captains to sit in the right hand seat for a while.

with certain airlines this does not seem to be the case and it appears that the right hand seats of these airlines are being filled with irresponsible risk takers.

i hope that these guys learn a thing or two about responsibility during their type rating and line training.

i wonder if this will have any long term ramifications on the safety of these airlines with this type of person up the front?
