Before I give my replies, I want to make sure I understand what`s being said.
Pontius-
1. Do you say that cadet schemes provide the most satisfactory source of FOs?
2. Do you contend that cadet standards, far from declining, are satisfactory?
3. Are you saying that, on balance, you consider operational and system knowledge to be more important than basic handling skills and airmanship with regards to flying an airliner?
4. If the answer to 3 is yes, what general aircraft specification do you believe imparts skills that are "transferable" to airline operations?
V2-
1. Are you saying that FJ streaming indicates "easy" transitions in the future?
2. When determining training processes, do you believe in training for the most capable or least capable candidate?

- Are you saying that the absence of other flying opportunities is a legitimate reason to allow newly qualified pilots to operate as commercial SICs?
