I GOT MINE, AND NOW I WANT YOURS".
Or, stated another way...'I have mine and you can wait your turn.'
In a rapidly growing airline (EK, excepted, unfortunately for the younger guys) this is normally not a problem.
The younger ones are promoted, with reasonable standards met.
Small air carriers such as ours, flying an older airplane...we train as rapidly as possible, all things considered.
Or, want a rapid Command?
Join a smaller carrier where your past accomplishments and experience are appreciated.
I did...a long time ago.
Grass is greener...etc.
IE: vote with your feet.
No, not your cup of tea?
Wait your turn.
NB.
I personally know one Captain who, being laid off as a First Officer with a very large major US airline, joined a small (but consistantly profitable) charter airline, where he was very rapidly promoted to Command.
Why?
He had the forethought to put his career in perspective, and did what he had to do...instead of crying here on PPRuNe.
