He's probably a school kid, management stooge or wind-up merchant. If he isn't, the 'value of the goods' that this particular market is dictating is poor indeed.

'Market forces dictate' that current crew, who have worked damned hard to get here will do all they can to discourage starry-eyed wannabes with SJS who are prepared to do the same job for less. The race to the bottom has gone on long enough. The 'dorks' and others that he will be undercutting will not only be captains, but first and second officers.

If he comes up to scratch during selection and grading (and judging by the spelling, grammar and attention to detail in his post a big 'if'), I and my fellow 'dorks' (with whom he will be sharing a cockpit for up to fifteen hours a time so he'll have to suck it up) had better hear lots of enthusiasm about those CX butties and what a great deal he is on just for eating them, not to mention the 'quality flying time' he is going to get .

There are some very good people on this thread who are doing their best to 'tell it how it is'.
