Sapperkenno,
Nice post, pretty much hits the nail on the head but, sadly, won't change anything.
Those wannabees who proliferate through this system will just view those refusing to be drawn in as one less obstacle in the way to them getting their RHS place. If they have the opportunity to pay, be it through bank of Mum & Dad or dreadful loans from sharking banks, then they will take the course as the 'foot in the door'. Unfortunately it takes a few years of hard graft on the line for them to realise that their actions have detrimental effects on their future remuneration.
Be nice if said mucker along with said mucker's like minded mates were to speak up and put their concerns and observations into the public spotlight.
They have, many times to the airlines training managers and the safety council but, as they are running a pretty heavy revenue stream, their concerns fall on deaf ears. Remember, in this industry as in the military, the QRH and change are generally written in blood.
Checked for typo's, missed letters and inappropriately spaced words on an Android phone from the beach in St Lucia after 1 sector!
