Jack, I agree.... but give the guy a break....
37 years ago I was a TP guy hoping for the chance to score a deal as a FE on a 727... it never happened. But I persevered. For some, the dream is still real. If anyone has the enthusiasm and desire beyond (Mommy and Daddy want me to do this), I'll humbly welcome them to my cockpit.... and I will nurture, and promote whatever simple experience and skills I can afford. Remember... we've all been there... it's just a matter of steering those qualified to the appropriate path..
Enchilada...
