The system is way from perfect, but the fact is most people pass. Your comments come across, intended or otherwise, as only insecurities.
Look at it this way: if you put aside a couple/ few months of time and dedication to the task, you will in all probability find yourself pleasantly surprised and sporting 4 golden bars. If it doesn't work out? Well you can still enjoy an F/O roster with seniority and all of the benefits that entails
..... Plus, you can complain on here with more validity - a total win/win really!
