This is unfortunately the state of aviation in Europe, and its not going to change any time soon. Experience in "real flying" and hard work is not appreciated any more as there are armies of P2F "pilots" waiting to sell their souls....sorry, let me rephrase that - They are waiting to PAY to sell their souls!!
Aviation is so wrong right now. I love my q400 and would really like to fly it on the LHS. But seems like I have to take the jet, just to have it in the CV.
