The problem is 20+ years ago there was a proper selection process of cadets, where 1 in 5000 would be selected. Now the cadet is the one with the mum who can pay. It is an unacceptable system.
Certainly not the case at Lufthansa (Germanwings). They still have that selection process going and make it in turn affordable for everyone to train with them. As do the other big carriers with their own flight school. And after the selection process the flight training is another selection process as well.

If you fly for the likes of Lion Air (which apparently you do according to your posts) then your perspective might be a bit bleak, but all is not lost in other parts of the world.
