Hopefully, you are not running an airline...
Otherwise you would have systematically hired the most 'experienced' pilots, for the sake of the safety...Is that right?
Well, I have to tell you that if you look closely and carefully into accident reports, you will unfortunately find more 'experienced' pilots than you think. Most of them, with clean safety record.
Have you ever thought that you have been discriminate in a deep economical crisis period? I am sure you would have been considered in a more prosperous time. You just knocked the door a bit late.
