Point taken. You're right, we now have some Freighter Captains that were appointed out of seniority and who have less experience that some of the F/O's that they fly with.
So how do you think that happen? It was done to save money.....because someone up the food chain was allowed to make an argument that diminished us as pilots....that all pilots are the same....that all pilots have P1 on their license.....that senior F/O's are already relief qualified....that a command course is a waste of time....and so on.
Read it for yourself on this thread....we have pilots that are only too happy to help the accountants achieve their goal and we continue to be our own worse enemies.
If we as pilots minimize what we do, if we as pilots are not proud of our experience, if we as pilots naively diminish ourselves and our accomplishments.....then the accountants will only be too happy to diminish our pay and conditions.
You really have to wonder.....
