Jesus. Give it a rest, will you.
If we're going to debate skillsets, then let's focus on the real issue at hand: our sole recruitment source is a stream of cadets who spend 3-4 years PXing before being given the controls of a 300ton+ airplane.
Whatever skills STP, 711, Nitpicker, Iron Skillet and Raven11 may (or may not) have, they're certainly going to need them as they (push/pull/roll/kick/add thrust/remove thrust/take command) [delete as required] to keep this show safely on the road from the left seat.
A 10-20% mix of cadets is a great thing and can certainly be managed (and trained) accordingly, but a 100% source is way beyond control.
With so many 'senior skill-sets' in the upper levels of this organisation (you name the background, we have it), it defies belief that we're watching this happen. The very gentlemen, who based on their lifetime of experience are perhaps the most qualified to speak against this nonsense, portray the loudest silence only broken by the clinging of coffers in hallways of power.
