10,000hr theory
The theory/rule that it take's 10,000hrs to 'master' anything from mowing the lawn to the most delicate brain surgery has been around for a while. An interesting book 'The Outliers' (Malcolm Gladwell) touches on this.
In the case of Airline flying, the focus usually appears to be on the end result i.e. the standard of landing.
If the landing is a greaser and the rest of the operation is crap, as far as I am concerned, no cigar.
All of it is important, from the moment you arrive at work early; in a well presented uniform; Briefings correct; SOPs correct; R/T correct; Professional PAs; Smooth accurate skills maintained and demonstrated; but most important, attitude correct.
If you don't like complying with the standard, then you should leave.
Young to Old, GEN X to GEN Z, from the ennui to the heat in the kitchen, when it comes down to it, some 'individuals' should not be anywhere near an aircraft.
