You can bitch about it all day, unless the people in the industry are prepared to mentor newly licensed pilots then nothing is going to change.
I have always believed that a CPL/PPl is a licence to learn but I have failed quite a few due to lack of general and specific knowledge, this has often been after they were specifically told bt me that I expected them to put in the hard yards.
As a general observation the vast majority of successful flight tests are ones where the preflight theory evaluation has been completed to a high standard and the flying is almost a formality...these are the people I have no problem reccommending for flying positions.
