Overun - you sound like a total yob and the manner of your reply is simply unacceptable in a discussion among professional pilots. I am kind of hoping you might be a bus driver who has unwittingly found himself here whilst searching for something else. (I used to drive buses myself by the way).

Back to the exam question. This is a question of supply and demand. Right now the types of people they want are available with the stipulations of currency, experience etc. Why would they wish to lower that requirement when they do not have to? It is very harsh I know, but these are just the hard facts. Agencies are there to provide expensive pilots to willing airlines. Those airlines pay a lot of money for what they want and, not unreasonably, expect to get what they paid for. That is no way to decry the skills of those not considered - it just states the mechanism of the market place.
