come on guys, i didn't want to pis.s you off but that's how is our profession. Being a commercial pilot is not a glamorous job anymore. Our passenger buy a cheap ticket and don't give a s.hit of our job, they don't listen to the pilot's PA, and they feel like in a fast bus from A to B, and what they want is to arrive on time and get out of the airport as soon as possible. Airbus and Boeing are very modern airplanes, and they are easy to be operated by a low hour cadet.
Are cadets more dangerous than "ten thousand hours pilots" ? I don't think so. Of course there are in our profesion what we can call bad pilots, but on the other hand good pilots don't exist. Lots of ex pilots of jumbo, concorde, tornado, mirage, f16, or whatever crashed, and lots of cadets never crash
Please don't get me wrong, I am not happy to see the profession going down and down every year, but we have to be realistic for god sake. Airlines companies need to cut the cost, and modern airplanes with cheap monkey pilots is the good compromise of a perfect low cost/ high safety ratio..
Ryanair was yesterday what all the companies will be tomorrow. Easyjet is just taking the same way.
