By no stretch am i promoting the lowering of training standards or the lowering of terms and conditions within the aviation industry, i'm simply stating that its possibly not fair to blame these young kids for this very fact!
As far as doing less sims, I would possibly suggest that this is simply due to the sim training such cadets receive in adelaide.....once again happy to be corrected.
Also it might not be fair to group all Cadets in the same basket....is there not 2 other streams that cater to the more experienced? wouldn't this mean you guys would getting a fair bunch or experienced pilot?
Surely something needs to be done within the current collection of pilots, rather than simply asking the younger guys to give up an opportunity. you'd be hard pressed to find a pilot who would give up a job, so as not to upset someone or keep them happy.
Just my thoughts
