See this is part of what is causing so much debate, the contradiction there which some people seem to be unable to comprehend.

Very true, the '**** load' of people with 300, 400 hours or whatever - traditionally, not near enough experience to join an airline.

So the 'shortage' is because there are so many people out there with only a few hundred hours, who are not considered experienced enough to staff RPT operations.....but hang on, people coming through these schemes with a couple of hundred hours are? Set for life with 70 command hours?
