Inner, I guess we are all experienced in our own way, but less experienced in others like you pointed out.
The issue is, how do we go about getting that experience so that everybody benefits as a whole wether it be pilots, pax etc.
Someone pointed out earlier, in the good old days, you started in the mail room and worked your way up, I agree with that thought process in aviation.
Lets be honest, most passengers dont want to get on a plane and see a 22 year old pilot in either the left or right hand seat of a 737.
And with regards to how I started this whole thread, any ideas when we are nearing the end of an abundance of type rated guys anybody!! Im actually job hunting and trying to get bonded to some airline/corporate/cargo company... need to pay the bills.
