Flava understand the issue about separating the issues.
Just maybe you should not be asked to share a cockpit with these guys and that is the issue that the Senate should focus on.
The attitude shown on this site by some would be grounds to question the appropriateness of some to that entitlement. Then again, perhaps it is the written word compared to the actual skills but that also raises questions about CRM if their words actually piss people off even before any issue has to be dealt with.
I am the father of a rather intelligent Gen Y (mothers genes) but there are occasions when I would like him to share your cockpit to give a severe reality check on life but not when there are 200 innocent people down the back while you sort him out.
This is not their fault but they are victims of their own opportunism and the corporate cultures that created this whole mess.
If we need politicians to sort it out then so be it.
