For someone who has been spouting out about safety and professionalism in aviation, that was a pretty stupid comment.
Why would you force a company to hire some (I say some, not all) poorly trained pilots. Why not have an open board where only the best are selected?
When I say best, I don't just mean in terms of flying ability, but also being professional in terms of command decisions and actually wanting to be there for a decent amount of time and honouring contracts.
After all, it is peoples lives, and the livelyhood of the business owners that we are playing with here.
