You don't need a janitor with 20 years of experience to mop a floor
Obviously cattleflyer aka ssg v7.0 doesnt appreciate the different characters and experience requirements of different jobs (which does sound like a clueless teenager)... Gimme a janitor with 20 years experience to mop a WHOLE floor and one who's a newbie... Which one cleans the whole floor faster and cleaner and use less of the stuff?

Obsolete knowledge is giving way to computers and technology.
Such as? They get those as they go. These "obsolete knowledge" gets passed down to the new ones in time... such as "how to "leaf down" or brick your jet". Hand flying when their confidence on the type and themselves build, etc.

pilots that have never handflown, no situational awareness, no concept of compass turns, partial panel, or dead reckonking.
Or (fake-)pilots who can't spell dead reckoning...

Now that is who is flying a jumbo jet these days?
Another teenage boxed/insular/bunker mind/mentality type of statement based out of ignorance and "smart-ass-ness" that is based out of... well... no need to be explicit...

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.
Do we see Singapore Airlines or Cathay Pacific (no narrowbodies + cadetships) having problems with these 600hrs TT First/Second officers?

Oh hang on... Ssg v7.0 is now banned... let's see if v8.0 will provide more "answers"...

AirRabbit,
One accident March last year almost turned out to be your "Wrong Decision Number 2".
