Good post Raven!

To put it another way, you don't know what you don't know. Most cannot appreciate experience until they have some for themselves such that they have witnessed the difference it makes. It takes proper and unusual parental upbringing to accept this principle on blind faith.

I sense that most of our Indian commentators come from the upper wrung of the caste system which lends itself towards a sense of entitlement and looking down upon others. Both seem relevant to the general attitude we are reading in these posts. They disparage the system which produced decades of exceptional safety at CX while simultaneously believing themselves worthy of joining it without proper experience.

Make no mistake! Today's iCadets are nothing other than a byproduct of corporate greed which is willing to leverage flight safety for the smallest increases in profit margins. This error will manifest itself for decades to come, eventually contributing to a worst case scenario.

I really hope our C&Ters do their job properly before signing these guys to the line. Every new SO should be safe with the worst RFO in the company. Every JFO should be safe with the weakest captain on the fleet. That should be the standard. Is it???
