raven11,
You say
we now have some Freighter Captains... who have less experience that [sic] some of the F/O's that they fly with.
What about passenger captains who have less experience than some of the F/O's with whom they fly? MANY passenger captains, especially now that most based pilots have chosen NOT to go to HKG to upgrade, joined as second officers. MANY first officers joined as first officers on the freighter and have much more experience than many of the newly-minted, ex-second officer captains.
Stop demonizing freighter pilots. If the pilots of Cathay Pacific had wanted to put a stop to the whole freighter thing, they should have done more back in 1996 than just whine. Cathay just loves it when we perpetuate the habit of sh*tting on the "new guy" because he has joined on terms less than ours.
