I think everybody is missing the point with this thread...
The problem is not recruiting pilots with low experience, turboprop only or whatever... History show this can be fine. I was a 170 hr jet cadet myself back in the old days and I have not dinked the John Deere (yet) from the left seat.
The problem is ONLY recruiting low experience pilots and not getting the balance across the Company. Not giving the guys enough training time, undue pressure from above / left seat, lack of support if mistakes are made - THAT WOULD BE THE PROBLEM...
Now let's get along and stop bashing each other - we are our own worst enemies.
As for the silly Airbus versus Boeing thing... all I will say is this - I'm a Boeing driver but I'm not about to start slagging off a guy just because he's Airbus.. because (a) it's childish, and (b) it's homophobic...
