Its possibly true to say that the CRM with some of the surgeons/consultants leaves a lot to be desired. Medicine and Airline Pilot work were very similar years gone by with respect to professional nature, standing, pay etc
The OP of this very thread indicates the absolute gulf between the two careers today. PAYING £115k. Yes read it again in isolation....
PAYING SOMEBODY £115,000 TO TRAIN
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS... eye watering amount of cash
The Airlines hold only one ace, CRM, but that said the medical profession are taking note and adopting the CRM model, the Airlines unfortunately lag a very long way behind in many respects, in comparison to medicine. I guess in medicine you become more valuable WITH experience rather than simply WITHOUT experience but WITH cash
The medical trade havent allowed the "dumbing down" of their industry, paying £115k to get ahead to wear a plastic anorak, and ability to pay having more clout than ability
Unfortunately the Airline career in 2014 doesnt compare favourably at all to that of the medical man. Plus the medical man can move from one hospital to the next once he gains experience
The CTC model/CTC "product"/path into the loco are unfortunately a reflection of the state of our once great country.
