SNS3Guppy you made an important distinction and I appreciate that youthful comments have no place in a professional environment as it devalues the seeming competence of the person in the right hand seat. Never an impression you want to give to your captain!
Regarding
cheap airline = cheap labour
, the way some comments are worded would imply that cheap pilot = inexperienced pilot and as cheap pilot is seen as a bad/dangerous pilot this would mean inexperienced pilot = bad/dangerous pilot. With high hour pilots who are cowboys and low hour pilots who don't make the cut, I think there are 2 sides to every story.
Every case is an individual. Experience vs habits, professionalism vs character, competence vs potential to learn...
