Went in for my medical lately..omg..still in shock..
All young guys and some with their mums ..a few had new frozen atpl s with ryanair interviews soon..
Dear me ..i dont envy those training captains as no amount of high ninety per cent exam results or aptitude tests can give you life experience that only time can..
The same goes for crm etc..
When you go flying you cannot have a bad day..you leave relationship,mortgage problems at home..
When i was in my early twenties i was an idiot ..maybe still a little !!
Maturity and life experience are great assets sadly all ignored now by modern hr recruitment in airlines...
As for mpl pilots ..no sim can recreate the fear in you tummy when u mess up and thats how you learn and you dont forget..
Sadly its integrated ctc etc cadets mpl twenty year olds..
Hope it does nt end in tears
