Says it all. That's not the recruiting profile we want or need.
That may be true but times have changed (for worse I agree) airlines no longer care about experience, pprune is littered with post from guys with thousands of hours unable to get a job because of ab initio pilots and pay to fly. I know military pilots leaving aviation because they can't compete with the afore mentioned new joiners or accepting life desk jobs in the military.

And you know what our ab initio or cadet pilots will do after their 6yr bond.

They'll stay exactly where they are because guess who they'll be competing against.

Younger version of themselves willing to be paid little to nothing for a foot in the door.

I'm afraid until the day where seniority is chucked out the door (which will never happen) and experienced pilots can leave for higher pay or better conditions/lifestyle will the cycle be broken.
