I'm sorry but that's a very childish response to a very serious issue which is now biting into the recruitment industry more ferociously than ever before. You can complain about wannabes, TRTOs , bean counters and management all you like but realistically only you (the active, senior pilot workforce) can actually do anything about it.

The problem is that in the recent past too many senior pilots have seen this as not directly affecting them as they will have guaranteed their positions/earnings, so why should they care? But as evident with this scheme in the context of this downturn where pilots are being made redundant, it’s clear to see that inexperienced low timers are preferred over time-on-type experience due to the income airlines/TRTOs can generate (which is two-fold – profit on type rating courses and reduced earnings). You’re terms are now directly on the line here.
