Yes Carnage very familiar and that is why it can happen. Our company has had this in place for about three years we think, they wont come and say what they are doing. As for moving elsewhere at present that isnt an option prehaps things will get better after the war is over.
Hurt feelings isnt really the issue we have senior FOs walking around with 3000 hours, as our company wont invest in them they are on the way out to others.
Our airline will feel it as it also costs money to train up FOs.
"Living in a fools paradise", possibly aviation is about making money in the end which keeps us all employed guess I tend to forget it somtimes.
