Quite a good post by Gravox I thought.
I am a CN with CX and have a view of both sides. The SO's are getting screwed but the DEFO's are just taking jobs offered.
As Gravox rightly said, many SO's have comparable if not better experience than DEFO's; but they were taken the job offered at the time. In fact, I have more confidence in many of the SO's than some of the new DEFO's.
Gravos was not out of line, perhaps your post is.....
