Wind Check et al,
Great to see some solidarity from fellow professionals.
Blaming low hour SSTR pilots for a situation that was allowed to develop long before they first strapped into a Cessna 150 is certainly a worthwhile exercise. They are realists, living in a reality created under your watch.
The far reaching consequences of one airline displaying disregard for it's most valuable HR asset and degrading their T&C's, is industry wide. You may be sitting in a legacy flight deck now, with a silver dinner service enjoying your fillet mignon. However, it wont be long before the implications of your disdain and indifference from afar, in your cocooned privilaged existance comes 'a knocking on your door.
An industry wide rot can only be killed at source. It is as much your duty as the individuals flying for the airline to ensure that it is stopped.
Ranting at your fellow professionals, in the throes of an obvious superiority complex achieves exactly what those running airlines these days aim to achieve. Division.
