Mecarsa Bitrusty,
I really hope that you're taking the piss because whoa, I thought that the sarcasm was quite clear. Of course I don't REALLY know a friggin' teenage Student Pilot Licence holder flying a bloomin' Metro around; it was an (apparently) poor attempt at humour to highlight the current sorry state of affairs in several regional 'airlines' hiring processes.
Take the old joke about cockpit automation for example, do you REALLY think that an airline is going to replace an FO with a dog to bite the pilot's hand if he tries to touch anything? (I can almost hear the cries of the zealous young men with the
Jet Pilot stickers across the backs of their car windows at Bankstown, Jandakot, Maroochy etc keen to get into an airline cockpit no matter what they spend their parents' money on: "Strewth? Dog's in the cockpit ey! Mummy, Daddy, can I borrow $35,000 for a
Canine Rating?"
Here's where I wish I could sign off like old Gaylord with a nice: "Fokker - Out" instead you'll have to settle for a simple:
