"This fast tracking of pilots, bypasses the previous industry practice of 10 to 12 years in the right hand seat. During that time, almost by osmosis the FO inherits professionalism & discipline from those in the left seat".
Don't know who posted this, but what a load of rubbish.
So unless an F/O does his time in the right hand seat, just like the good old days, there is no way he should be promoted. That is ostensibly what is being said here.
Absolute rubbish. This is old world thinking in the extreme - no consideration of competency, only time in seat.
"During that time, almost by osmosis the FO inherits professionalism & discipline from those in the left seat"
The biggest bit of rubbish. I spent 14 years in the right seat before my initial jet command and I can tell you that I had to force myself NOT to inherit a good number of the traits I was exposed to as an F/O.
What rubbish.... and on a "professional" site for aviator's no less.
".....accept terms & conditions less than previous industry norms to get it".
Now I think we are at the root of the post..... Let's blame the new guys for the current conditions the industry now offers. More rubbish.
