Seems the name & shame list is not going so well?!?
What a stupid suggestion, in ones first post (at least with that username), to mention two reputable companies as candidates for such a list.
That, however, does not make the idea of a list a bad one.
How about a list of selfpaying morons, the losers that paid for ratings and work, the identity-pilots that kept yours truly behind the wheel of a taxicab for too long, the 21yr old flight school graduates with 15 years aviation business experience, making weak excuses for having no backbone, the know-it-alls that "just want to get the career started" thus paying Ryanair, Pegasus or some other absolutely bottomfeeding operator for the privilege of making a colleague unemployed.
In short... the people that turns this profession into an expensive hobby for snotty-nosed punks with rich parents.
The scab-list from the days of old was a harsh, but righteous and just way of dealing with the undesired elements. Maybe it is time for a new list!
Ok, maybe a list is not required, just a bit of vigilance when in a position of screening for interviews/ jobs. Keep the deteriorators of aviation excellence on the low-cost or unemployed side of the fence. Don't reply to these applications.
ohhh... and a good morning, hope I don't come across as opinionated
