There is no doubt there are two camps on this issue...
Camp 1: Please god, let me have an airline job, let me pad my hours, I'll get ab intio training, blow the chief pilot, pay for training, get a buddy to recommend me... I want a system that rewards guys that buy off on CRM, butt kissing, befriending peeps that will walk my app into HR, I want to have a system in place that will get me around all those pesky flight hours and experience that I should really have to fly an airliner. I deserve to have 200 hours of flight time and be a capt on an Airbus.
Camp 2: I have 5-10k hours...a degree, real flight experience...the most experienced pilots get the most pay, and the best equipment.
