"its all down to luck to be honest! These young types that get on the heavies at such a young age have the contacts! Daddy flies for x airline and hey presto your in through the back door!
Most of them dont know thier arse from thier elbow but they have the contacts/connections!"
i don't understand why some of you guys have such a negative opinion on new pilots. I've almost completed my training & what gives u the right to assume that I, as a 22 year old pilot, "don't know my arse from my elbow"?
the simple fact of the matter is that you don't know how old this guy is, you don't know how hard he worked to get there so you shouldn't criticise him just because you are jealous.
Maybe when this industry begins to accept that there are so many fantastic young pilot coming through the ranks will they begin to sort out this narrow minded attitude so many of the "old guard" choose to accept!!
