I've seen this in other fields: Hire inexperienced guys, so we don't have to pay them much, we can teach them what to do, and get away without needing experience. They will do what we want, little marshmellows that just want to fly and can be controlled.In many proffessions, this is true. You don't need a janitor with 20 years of experience to mop a floor...also, obsolete knowledge is giving way to computers and technology. FEs and guys that really knew how to navigate and handfly, going the way of the FMS, EFIS, and GPS. So flash forward to the Sims and flight instructors have coined a term...'Childrem of the Magenta'.....pilots that have never handflown, no situational awareness, no concept of compass turns, partial panel, or dead reckonking. Situational awareness: Look for the little plane on the moving map, that's where you are.Now that is who is flying a jumbo jet these days? I would have expected more.The equipment is so reliable these days, that expecting anything extra ordinary out of these pilots, like dealing with a real tire failure, engine failure ect is so remote that even the insurance companies buy off on it, as long as the insurance premiums are high enough, and they make a profit. So now we have kids hiring kids, or chief pilots who really just don't care anymore hiring for a happy work environment, CRM being more important then actual safety...and people not making waves, doing what they are told what to do...At the end of the day, we know that a 600 FO flying a jumbo jet is unacceptable, the captains know it, the airlines know it, the insurance company cringes at the thought of it...but everyone is making a buck..
