Dog eat dog, always was, always will be.
I'm inclined to agree. In my previous profession it was quite possible for the meek and mild mannered to rise to the top provided they had the skill. In stark contrast the very nature of piloting an aircraft tends to attract the 'self-confident' and extrovert personalities, with such people being trumpeted by training departments as being proactive and therefore better. No amount of CRM training will change that assumption and while those personalities dominate the profession we will never have unity.
The other side of that argument is faced by newbie pilots every day. Each person leaves childhood with a preferred career in mind. Call it a 'dream' if you will, but I find that concept a pile of steaming nonsense designed to belittle the 'dreamer'. The fact is that many people have the desire and ability to fly modern airliners but there are not enough jobs. At the same time beancounters are looking at ways of saving money. Put the two together and the newbie will pay for a type rating. Things will only change if legislation intervenes making it illegal for inexperienced pilots to work in airlines, because demand will never exceed supply.
