404 Titan great post...
I remember when CX was hiring DEFO most of pilots at CX were against it....and now CX is hiring guys who don't even know the meaning of ULH flight or what seat they should sit in for take off and landing....don't believe me just go read it under the cadet Thread and the type of question they are asking each other...Now I wonder which is better/safer for CX crew...Hiring experience FO or inexperience Cadet...I feel really bad for you Capt/FO....Really... can you get any rest while in bunk knowing you have some new Cadet in front....Now I am not saying Cadets are not sharp and one day I am sure they will make great capts....but you cant substitute experience by reading books....you would think Airline's would learn from Colgan crash in Bufflo, NY...read what inexperience FO did when they stall the airplane...Best of luck.
