It's a consequence of the pay to fly culture that has taken root in Europe. Airlines, especially budget airlines, will not recruit anyone with experience preferring so called cadets out of whom they make money. Hence we get co pilots with less than the hours required to get a U.S. licence flying passenger jets., up to now the public have not given a stuff as they only want cheap tickets. This will hopefully change but I'm not holding my breath. With 600 hours I and most of my peers were flying turboprops under close supervision and knew just enough to realise what we did not know.
We reap what we sow.
This is nonsense, previous pilot suicides haven't been by 'cadet' low-hours pilots, and in the instance of the first
possible suicide by a low-houred pilot, therefore it must simply be a result of him being a cadet with little experience. Did you think that comment through at all?
