I disagree that there is a problem with low houred pilot flying in the RHS of an airliner. It has been happening for decades and generally very successfully - you don't need examples.

I do have a huge problem with UNSELECTED, useless morons paying to fly - they are the only people that do it.

Low houred pilots and PTF do go hand in hand yes but they don't have to - that is what needs to change. The financial side of things which allows people to be filtered by their ability to pay not their ability to fly, their knowledge and their personality is what is unsafe.

Low houred pilots flying airliners with experienced captains has always been safe and will always be safe. End of. Anyone who thinks otherwise clearly hasn't flown a plane. It's about having someone next you in your inexperienced days, nurturing you through the process. Whether you have 1000 hours or 250 hours makes less than no difference. End of.
