We can read, write and argue over 170+ pages of this thread but this mess can be summarized in a few paragraphs:
Experienced pilots don't want 200hr kids in the cockpit; it's bad for the standards, it's bad for safety and it's bad for everyone's conditions.
0-200hr Gen Y/Z kids don't wanna do military/GA instructing/bush flying/regional flying because they have had it so f...ing easy in the 21st century and therefore it's all perceived as too hard. Further at their young (and immature) age they don't give a **** how much they get paid since they get this "wonderful" opportunity to bypass all the "other" flying and it's more than they would get at the supermarket down the road refilling shelves whilst going to university.
Anyone disagree???
