"I agree, too many are hired with little real experience. It is unlikely they will be able to learn what we did when sitting in the right seat."
At the risk of thread creep and repeating ourselves this is true. With 3000hr captains who are hot-shot SOP guru's who don't/can't/are not allowed to demonstrate much of the basic skills it will be a future of the blind leading the blind into a world of decaying skills.
