The job of Airline pilot is completely ****** up. Regulations should state that above 100 passengers you not only need an ATPL but a degree as well.
It would put some more sensible individuals in the system.

What about wind limitations for alternate airports ?
Does the gust count or not?
How is crosswind capability determined?
What margin is build into it?
You see flying is more than just learning a few rules, but unfortunately that is what the whole thing has turned into.
