The race to the bottom continues, the only difference now is that the shiny new jets are made of plastic, not tin. We do it to ourselves, and the companies love it and feed it. "Market forces" they say, but there appears to be no bottom to pool of 'available' drivers. We are moving from 200hr cadets to what is MPL? 150? These guys slide into the right hand seat of a 330 again at KA, hard to run out of pilots when all you need is 150hours. The equivalent of 2 rostered months total experience. Cant blame them, I would have signed with the devil to fly a 330 with 150 hours, if we are all honest enough, who wouldn't? So we shouldn't expect the pool of willing candidates to dry up any time soon. The sad thing is, the only answer is a flaming wreckage and governments regulating that you cant sit in the seat until you have enough experience... (Like the USA). When will our CAD muster up the courage to do that I wonder?
