That is very true. I have to train some of them. Admittedly there are good ones but there are also some who should be nowhere near the flight deck of a commercial air transport aircraft. They have not been selected for ability and aptitude for flying, only the ability and willngness to pay for the training and it makes me weep. Airlines no longer care about the quality of individual pilots, their training and backgrounds, only money.

I don't think I'll be spending much of my pension on air fares when I retire, especially with Lo-Co airlines - I know too much.
