SAS
I am not saying anything of the sort. Whatever your jurisdiction, whatever your license, whatever sub section of the industry you work in I am just saying that I get to see a small part of it doing my little bit in my little (ATP) corner of the world.
Let me ask you. If you had just spent 4 years doing essentially the same thing with a variety of people and you noticed a definite characteristic amongst a significant minority then would you comment or not? Would you keep your politically correct head below the parapet, whistle 'Dixie' and tell yourself it was nothing to do with you (actually I can't imagine SAS being politically correct but I rather like the image it conjures up).
Don't forget to read the posts that indicate that other people out there in the big wide world also think that not all is so wonderful.

PS. Don't forget that any ATP check-ride I am aware of requires an IR section and once you have that ticket you have right to fly into some of the busiest airports in the world. It is only right and proper that that fragile skill is kept in good shape and NOT doing so can be counted as part of the problem.
