Superpilot hits the nail on the head with the most damaging aspect of cadet rich recruitment into the Locos
Unfortunately the loco model needs big scale minimal cost operation to survive.
There are numerous ironies relating to the low cost operation. One of the ones hidden from view of those working to enter the industry as flightcrew with the aurlines is that the amount of bodies the quality operators require is slowly dwindling as an inverse function of the low cost expansions
Some bright young guy thinking of using the locos as a stepping stone (getting some jet hours) the compwtition to then move on to one of the higher quality jobs is getting more intense as time moves on
Another important irony is the increase in bonus and salary of certain areas of the airline at the same time as the subtle and steady decrease elsewhere.
