Beat me to it! I was just about to post the article.

However, the Garuda incident is not a good example as it appears it was the first officer who was telling the 'veteran captain' to go around from an unstable approach, but the captain ignored him.

I'm not sure if lower houred first officers is the issue. Low hour first officers have been getting jet jobs for years, the quality of the training is more of an issue. And using the MPL as a case is irrelevant and the MPL pilot will have had some very valid training.

To me, this articel speaks more about the pilot shortage which is already here and is set to get much much bigger.
