It's an accident waiting to happen, only then the public will start wondering what's going on just like in the ColganAir case.

20 years old 200hrs pilots pay their way into the right hand seat of a jet and are then trained like monkeys to deal with normal everyday operations on a fully functioning brand new aircraft with a fit and alert Captain.

One day one of these fully functional variables will change the result of the equation and if you throw in some weather, tiredness and other operational factors adding them up with the absolute lack of previous experience and the normal immaturity of a 20 years old youngster then the outcome can only turn out being tragic.
