That was clearly what you are implying Bokkenrijder. Why else would you mention "desperate" cadets dragging down conditions for "experienced" pilots?
d105, I think you misunderstand me. With "desperate" I mean that I genuinely feel sorry for people ending up in that situation.
I also
am implying that "experience" as such, unfortunately won't get you very far as in any low-cost airline anymore, as the
costs are the determining factor. Just like my F/O experience won't get me very far if I ever needed to apply with EZY or RYR again, I think that PIC experience won't get you very far in the next 5-10 years either. As a 737/A320 DEC, you'll be thirteen in a dozen.
Do you think that's a fair system?
