You Orange boys and girls should really lghten up a bit! Clara has you seething like rabid dogs!
The real problem is the diminishing cachet of the airline pilot.
With flexi crew it is next stage in the downward spiral of t and c's The only thing that will stop it is a crash(Turkish?) or legislation. Do easy customers know they are being driven by a trainee. Whatever anybody says there is an increased risk in the first 500 hours until you gain a lot of spare capacity. When pilots are employed the risk is minimised as you only have limited numbers, these lot will leave to be replaced by fresh money.
A tv documentry is needed to highlight the matter I think bearing in mind the recent mechanical failures of aircraft.
Really the general pilot body doesn't have the balls to bring it to a halt in todays economic climate. Hopefully the lack of credit will stem the flow though.
